Research

A trajectory from physical systems toward intelligent, embodied interaction — and the interests and methods that hold it together.

I

Research Trajectory

An interdisciplinary path from physical engineering systems toward intelligent, human-centred interaction — and, going forward, back into embodied and physical contexts.

  1. 01

    Physical Systems

    Mechatronics, sensing, control, prototyping

  2. 02

    Human Interaction

    HCI, experimental research, interaction design

  3. 03

    Human + AI

    Collaborative AI systems, creative workflows, AI-mediated interaction

  4. 04Emerging

    Future Direction

    Embodied intelligence, physical interaction, Human–Robot Interaction

Research Interests

01

Human–Computer Interaction

The human-centred foundation: how people understand, use and are shaped by interactive systems.

02

Human–AI Interaction

Intelligent and adaptive behaviour introduced into interaction, collaboration and creative work.

03Emerging

Human–Robot Interaction

Interaction extended toward embodied physical agents. An emerging direction in my research.

04

Intelligent Interactive Systems

The system level that connects these areas: architecture, sensing, computation and interaction combined.

Relationship

HCI grounds the human, AI adds adaptive behaviour, HRI moves interaction into physical space, and intelligent interactive systems hold the three together at the level of the system.
