RESEARCH INTERESTS

For more information, please consult my curriculum vitae.

My research interests are in human-computer interaction (HCI) and ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp). My research focuses on enhancing usability and usefulness within the scope of mobile computing experiences. I investigate tools and methods to support the development of novel ubiquitous computing systems and techniques and models to facilitate user interactions with off-the-desktop computing devices and services.
