I work in 'Human-Computer Interaction' and 'Physical Computing', addressing questions on the principles, technologies, and interaction techniques of (i) collaborative computing and (ii) human-data/AI interaction. My publications are on Google Scholardblp, and ACM DL. I currently work on:


  1. Collaborative augmented device ecologies: designing and studying new interaction techniques and principles for intelligent AI-enabled device ecologies that support new forms of collaboration and nomadic work.
  2. New forms of human-AI interaction: designing and studying new tangible and physical interaction paradigms and data embodiments (physicalization) for human-data and human-AI interaction.


Current Research Projects:

  • CurateAI: TBA
  • Treat: exploring human-data interaction concepts for personalized edge AI recommender systems in healthcare contexts.
  • PhysicaliseAI: studying new human-AI interaction mechanisms for NLP-driven collocated collaborative sensemaking and decisionmaking.
  • POWEr FITTing: building new situated human-data interaction tools, visualizations and analytics for the future of work.
  • Blended Realities: exploring the basic principles of physicalization and augmented reality for collaborative sensemaking and decisionmaking.
