Summary
I am a researcher, lecturer, and engineer with a passion for medical devices, human-machine systems, and XR (in no particular order). My background zigzags across multiple engineering disciplines with a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, a Master's and industry experience in Human Factors, and a Doctorate in Computer Science. This gives me a holistic and in-depth view of complex human-machine systems. It allows me to develop a methodologically sound and empathetic understanding of the users' perspectives and needs, as well as a profound understanding of the technical systems' side.
Current research focuses
- XR for facilitating medical human-robot interaction
- Effective and efficient use of XR in UX and usability research
- XR as a surgical navigation tool
