Biography
I am currently an ARC DECRA Fellow 2020, and a Senior Lecturer at the School of Information Technology.
My research expertise is in augmented reality, wearable computer, and human computer interactions. My focus is in interaction techniques and devices, human factors, and educational technologies. My PhD research created innovative interaction technologies and devices for the field of augmented reality and wearable computer.
I have extensive experience in creating new wearable and augmented reality technology, including a patent-pending ultrasonic glove device, as well as designing user interaction techniques and technology for natural gestural interactions with computing systems.
If you are interested in completing a Masters or PhD by research with me, please contact me through this page or my Deakin page.
