About my research interests

I am a researcher interested in the interaction between humans and technology. My main research interests are user experience, input devices and video games.

In previous projects I had worked on evaluating, and identifying, the user experience for video games. I have also been involved in projects for defining the relationship between business and technology. I have consulted on understanding the flow and organisation of information within an organization. I have also explored the role of governments in establishing policies to foster technological development in a third world country. And in the far past, I worked on the modelling of new interaction techniques, CAD for VLSI, Computer Vision and Usability Evaluations.
