About
I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Bath. My research explores novel ways for people to interact with computer systems, with a focus on creating interaction techniques that embrace user variability rather than constrain it. My work spans human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, and extended reality (AR/VR), with a strong emphasis on wearable and vision-based input technologies. In addition to interaction design, we apply these technologies to impactful healthcare contexts, including assistive communication and the detection and monitoring of axial spondyloarthritis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the spine.
Research Areas
Interaction Techniques
Including variability-aware interaction design that aims to design systems that embrace user variability, as well as assistive and accessible technologies.
Digital Health
Including monitoring and self-management of axial spondyloarthritis, stress detection, and other digital health interventions.
Physical Activity
Exploring how sensing and interaction can support people when undertaking physical activities such as learning or practising a new skill.
Technologies
Wearables
Extended Reality
