Graduate School Research Interests & Focus of Work
During my time in the vialab computer science research lab, my research interests were focused within the realm of human-computer interaction (HCI). Specifically
  • Natural user interfaces (NUI)
  • Spatial and multi-touch interaction
  • Information visualization
  • Collaborative learning and computer-supported cooperative work
  • User experience
  • User interface design

My work focused on designing and developing interactive software systems by employing user-centered design processes and evaluating them by designing and conducting research studies with human participants.
I have attended the following research conferences
  • Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST)
    • 2012 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
    • 2013 at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, United Kingdom
