I am a Postdoctoral Fellow interested in Intelligent Systems, in particular, on next-generation capabilities for digital assistants including spoken conversational search, collection of complex datasets and task progression through ubiquitous sensing. I am also working with Ambulance Victoria, using artificial intelligence (AI) to efficiently identify cardiac arrest emergency calls to accelerate critical care and spare lives.
My main research interests are Conversational Systems, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interactive Information Retrieval (IIR), and
experimental design (both qualitative and quantitative including crowdsourcing, observational studies, Wizard of Oz), with the
aim in making information accessible to everyone.
I completed my PhD in Computer Science focussing on Conversational Systems at RMIT University in 2019 under supervision of Professor Lawrence Cavedon, Professor Mark Sanderson, and Doctor Damiano Spina. I am awarded the RMIT University Deputy Vice-Chancellor’s Higher Degree by Research Prize for my doctoral work and thesis.
I am appointed as an ACM SIGIR Student Liaison,
feel free to contact me with questions about SIGIR-student matter. More recently, I am also appointed as Vice-chair of the ACM SIGIR Artifact Evaluation Committee (AEC).
