Designing interactions.
Building understanding.
Designing, studying, and theorising interaction at the intersection of spatial computing, novel interactions, and intelligent systems.
What am I currently working on?
Distributed Mixed Reality Collaboration
How do people work together when their physical spaces are different but their digital environments are shared? Research on spatial heterogeneity, presence, and novel interaction primitives for distributed teams in blended physical–digital spaces.

Human-Centred AI & Trustworthy Systems
When AI systems make or assist consequential decisions, what do people understand, trust, and contest? Research spanning explainability, algorithmic contestability, responsibility attribution, and the design of AI systems people can meaningfully engage with.

Gaze, Multimodal Interaction & Input Techniques
Eyes move faster than hands. Research on smooth pursuit eye movements, attention-aware interfaces, gaze–speech fusion, and novel input techniques — from smart watches and VR headsets to handheld devices and large interactive surfaces.

Embodied Learning, Movement & Performance
Learning happens in the body. Research on movement analysis, physical skill acquisition, and immersive environments designed to support athletes, dancers, students, and clinical practitioners — where feedback, timing, and physicality are everything.

HCI Theory & Research Methodology
Good research needs good foundations. Work on statistical methods for data analysis and causal reasoning, measurement validity, research synthesis, and the epistemological frameworks that shape how HCI knowledge is produced and applied.
