I am a Researcher in the [braccetto] Project at Australia's National Information and Communication Technology Research Centre of Excellence (NICTA).
The [braccetto] project investigates how the effective application of ICT in mixed presence groupware - software that connects local and remote
participants in a shared visual workspace - can help geographically distributed teams collaborate more effectively.
The [braccetto] project is a key project being undertaken within the HxI Initiative which is a research collaboration between
Australia's leading publicly funded research organisations - CSIRO, DSTO and NICTA.
Previous to this position, I was a PhD student at ViSLAB and in the Infomation Visualisation Research Group,
School of Information Technologies at
The University of Sydney. I was also affiliated with NICTA IMAGEN Program.

My research interest is in the area of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) focusing on user interfaces
and novel input techniques for interacting with large, small, mobile and multitouch surfaces.
In my career, I will explore how we can optimise our interaction with technologies,
and in turn enhance our day-to-day experiences.
My Ph.D work focused on a novel interactive technique that allows bare hand interaction with large
screens. My research is funded by the University of Sydney and the Faculty of Science, as well
as the CMCRC, supervised by Assoc Prof. Masahiro Takatsuka from
Vislab and Prof. Peter Eades from
NICTA.
In December 2003, I went on an internship to
Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing, China.
During that time, I worked in the Center for
Interaction Design supervised by Dave Vronay.
My honours thesis was about direct interaction with large-scale display systems using laser pointers.
You can read all about it from my conference paper below.
