I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland where I lead the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab (website coming soon!). Before joining MUN, I completed my PhD in the HCI Lab at the University of Waterloo, advised by Prof. Edward Lank. This was followed by working in industry as a Senior Research Scientist at Huawei Canada and a postdoc at Carleton University. My research interests span a variety of domains within human-computer interaction, including, extended reality (AR/VR/MR), multi-modal input, and learning input techniques – with the overarching goal of understanding human behaviour while interacting with technology.
