I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where I lead the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab. I earned my PhD from the University of Waterloo's HCI Lab, advised by the late Prof. Edward Lank. My research focuses on understanding how people interact with technology, typically through a "quantitative HCI" approach—objectively measuring human performance with both existing and emerging technologies. Recently, my work has explored interactions in mixed reality for productivity and interactions with generative AI.
