BIO

I am the Research Leader at the Human Interface Technology Laboratory (HIT Lab) and a Senior Lecturer in the School of Information and Communication Technology at the University of Tasmania. I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington, Seattle, USA.

 

I am a researcher and system designer with expertise in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), currently focused on Human-AI Interaction. My research explores how humans and AI systems can collaborate as equal partners, recognising and leveraging each other’s strengths to support shared goals in creative, learning, and decision-making contexts.

 

With a foundation in electrical engineering and a strong interest in interactive systems, I bring extensive experience in system design and development. My interdisciplinary work spans education, telepresence, assistive technologies, and immersive digital experiences, with a focus on enhancing communication, productivity, and the quality of work through digital technologies.

 

I am passionate about designing human-centred, transparent, and ethically grounded AI systems that foster meaningful and effective human-AI relationships.
