Research interests
My research lies at the intersection of human factors, wearable sensing, and sports technology. My work focuses on understanding, designing, and evaluating human–technology systems, with an emphasis on interface design and Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) for sports and rehabilitation. I apply implicit and explicit user-state estimation methods to assess emerging technologies and novel interaction prototypes in virtual and physical environments. In my doctoral research, I developed a virtual testing framework for wearable sensor networks that addresses the challenges of costly and time-intensive preliminary user studies. This framework integrates digital twin of the human upper-limb, sensor simulations, and machine-learning-based optimization to enable more efficient and scalable development of wearable sensing systems.
