I am passionate about understanding how people interact with computers and devices. From my early PhD research into HCI and information visualisation design, to my industry experience developing mobile games that have been downloaded by more than 50 million players, I strive to solve user-focused problems.
Since returning to UniSA, I was a key researcher on the Narrative Visualisation project with the Data to Decisions Cooperative Research Centre. This project won the South Australian Australian Information Industry Association iAward for R&D Project of the Year and a merit at the national level. The technology has since been acquired by a commercial venture to take to market.

I am passionate about understanding how people interact with computers and devices. From my early PhD research into HCI and information visualisation design, to my industry experience developing mobile games that have been downloaded by more than 50 million players, I strive to solve user-focused problems.
Since returning to UniSA, I was a key researcher on the Narrative Visualisation project with the Data to Decisions Cooperative Research Centre. This project won the South Australian Australian Information Industry Association iAward for R&D Project of the Year and a merit at the national level. The technology has since been acquired by a commercial venture to take to market.
My current research interests are in Virtual and Augmented Reality, exploring how we visualise information in these environments to support analytical tasks and sense making.
