About Me

PhD in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from SIRIUS Lab @ University of Glasgow. Supervised by Prof. Mohamed Khamis

My research interests lie within HCI. While my Phd research focused on designing gaze interaction techniques for target acquisition on handheld mobile devices, I'm also interested in exploring eye tracking and gaze-based interaction across ubiquitous platforms, such as XR.
