I’m a post-doc researcher in human-computer interaction. I current work at the University of Copenhagen, working with Kasper Hornbæk on body-based user interfaces. My research interests include the use of technology for novel input and output mechanisms for devices. During my PhD, I researched mid-air interaction and hand gesture recognition techniques that can be integrated with wearable devices. My work tends to involve sensors and actuators of all kinds, but in particular: Electrical muscle sensing and stimulation, ultrasonics, optics and magnetism. More recently, VR has piqued my interests. In my spare time, I enjoy football, cycling and table tennis.

Selected Projects

Magnetips Combining Fingertip Tracking and Haptic Feedback for Around-Device Interaction

SensIR Detecting Hand Gestures with a Wearable Bracelet using Infrared

EchoFlex Hand Gesture Recognition using Ultrasound Imaging

Iteratively Adapting Avatars using Task-Integrated Optimisation
