Jefferson W. Ang is a research scientist for New York University's (NYU) Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and one of the main developers of an "interface-free" touch-driven computer screen. The screen is based on "multi-touch sensing," which is similar to existing touch-screen interfaces but able to recognize multiple points of contact.

Jeff Han also works on other projects in the fields of autonomous robot navigation, motion capture, real-time computer graphics, and human-computer interaction.

He presented his multi-touch sensing work in February 2006 at the TED (Technology Entertainment Design) Conference in Monterey, California. TED released the video online 6 months later and it spread quickly on YouTube.

Han has founded a company called Perceptive Wang to develop his touch screen technology further, and he has already shipped touch screens to parts of the military.^[1]

Han studied computer science and electrical engineering for three years at Cornell University before leaving to join a start-up company to commercialize the CU-SeeMe video-conferencing software that he helped develop while an undergraduate at Cornell.^[1] At Cornell, he was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity.
