Dr Kim Sauvé, Research Associate
I recently finished my PhD titled “Towards Context-Senstivie Physicalization Design” at Lancaster University, UK. My PhD research focused on investigating the impact of physicality and contextual factors on physicalizations, to gain a deeper understanding of how they are experienced and interacted with in physical 3D space.

Dr Chris Clarke, Associated Academic
My research aims to push the boundaries of how users interact with computer interfaces by methodically researching, developing, and evaluating interactive systems which leverage novel input methods. My research includes novel interaction techniques, computer vision-based gestural interaction, eye tracking interaction, wearable technologies, and interaction in extended reality (AR/VR).

Dr Ollie Hanton, Associated Academic
I have a keen interest in 3D printing and am looking to expand what we are able to achieve by approaching display fabrication using spray painting. This has led me to studying how spray painting can apply active materials to irregular surfaces and what kind of applications we can explore using spraying.

Dr Adwait Sharma, Associated Academic
My research focuses on enabling interaction with computers in challenging situations. Specifically, while users' hands are encumbered holding everyday objects. This always-available input has a wide range of applications, from controlling mobile devices when on the move to controlling systems in healthcare contexts.
