I am Assistant Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Waterloo in the Faculty of Engineering (Department of Management Sciences). I teach courses in Human-Computer Interaction (i.e., Interaction Design), Statistics and Data Analytics, and general Computer Science courses.

I research Human-Computer Interaction, specifically, what I call Haptic Computing. Haptic technology engages the sense of touch by providing physical feedback to users. I argue that the limiting factor for haptic technology is the lack of computing tools – systems that enable the large-scale creation, deployment, and study of haptic feedback. Without these tools, haptic technology will be limited to small, in-lab studies and slow deployment into commercial applications. My long-term goal is a suite of haptic computing tools to assist the creation, deployment, and study of haptic technology.
