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 intuitive and adaptive interfaces. I develop innovative interaction techniques—particularly those leveraging gestures and eye tracking—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, I 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. My interdisciplinary approach bridges technical innovation with real-world applicability, aiming to make interactive systems more seamless, inclusive, and effective.
I have a broad publication record in premiere international conferences such as CHI, UIST, UbiComp/IMWUT, and TOCHI and my work has been covered by media outlets such as the BBC, New Scientist, Reuters, the Telegraph, and Wired.
Previously, I was an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Researcher working in the Interactive Systems group at Lancaster University. My PhD investigated motion-coupling techniques using computer vision to enable interaction with any body part or object under the supervision of Prof. Hans Gellersen. During my PhD I undertook an internship at FXPAL in Palo Alto, California with Don Kimber and Patrick Chiu.
