I will be part of the Program Committee serving as Associate Chair (AC) for next year’s ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS’25).

I presented my research as well as organized with a group of awesome colleagues a workshop on human-centred co-design methods during the India Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) 2024 conference in Mumbai!

I had a great time giving a research talk and forging potential future collaborations in the Open Lab research group at Newcastle University.

I’m so excited that both out MASI Basecamp 2024 proposals to co-design tech with vulnerable groups have been accepted for funding!

Thanks to the Swansea Academy of Inclusivity and Swansea Academy of Learning and Teaching (SALT) for the invitation to contribute to the revised PSF 2023: Demonstrating Inclusive Practices post on inclusive practices in teaching!

I will be part of the Program Committee serving as Associate Chair (AC) for next year’s ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI’25) and the CM SIGCHI Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work & Social Computing (CSCW’25).

We had a great time during the workshop “Conducting Interdisciplinary Research with Vulnerable Populations in Computing: Challenges, Practices, and Lessons Learned” that took place both online and in-person in Rimini, Italy as a pre-conference event as part of the 22nd European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW’24 Conference). More info about the workshop and topics here.

I have received a Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) Impact Fund to help me network with community leaders and stakeholders for research involving the Armed Forces & Veterans.

I was invited to give a virtual talk along Prof. Alan Dix during the OffTheCanvas Prelude symposioum as part of pre-India HCI 2024 events.

It was great to visit the HCI group in the Dept. of Computer Science at Cardiff University. I was invited to give a talk during a visit where PhD students met and exchanged research experiences with students from the HCI group in Imperial College London!
