Research Interests

My areas of expertise are in HCI and IUI, and in particular: multimodal interaction, modality fusion, and mobile and ubiquitous computing. Two growing research interests of mine include dialogue management and natural language generation, and broader interests also include natural language understanding, presentation output planning, and embodied conversational agents. Currently, I am working on the ARC/NH&MRC funded Thinking Heads project, in which a system is being developed to support an enhanced head that is capable of effective human-computer interaction and that has the ability to learn from encounters with human interactants.
