I am a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Sydney, where I also serve as Deputy Head of School and Associate Head of School (Research). My research focuses on interaction design for emerging technologies. I study and build new forms of human-computer interaction at the frontier of what is technically possible.

I am interested in the novel user experiences enabled by novel input and sensing modalities, the design of new interaction devices and techniques, and the use of AI and machine learning in interactive systems. My work involves a deliberate mix of methods, including qualitative observations of user behaviour, co-design with stakeholders, working prototypes of novel interactions, and quantitative evaluations of novel interactive systems.

My research generally spans five themes: interaction in mixed and extended reality; human-centred AI & intelligent user interfaces; HCI theory and methodology; gaze, multimodal interaction & input techniques; and embodied learning and movement. These themes share a common belief — that as technologies change, our models of interaction must change with them.

I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Lancaster University and a BEng in Computer Engineering from PUC-Rio.
