Hello! :^)

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath. I am part of the European Media and Immersion Lab (EMIL) as a member of the Expert Advisory Group (EAG), and a node mentor for FSTP projects on Mixed Reality. My research interests and activities are around emotion recognition, physiological and contextual sensing, and Mixed Reality technology.

I am currently investigating automatic emotion recognition models for adaptive systems in physiologically noisy environments, such as during high-intensity Virtual Reality exergaming. Prior research explored developing interaction techniques, adaptive tangible devices, and collocated collaboration all within Mixed Reality environments.
