I am currently serving as a Postdoc in Human Centred Computing (HCC) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. I am a part of the Touchless project which aims to develop new Touchless haptic technologies and facilitate novel haptic experiences.
My research in haptics spans three dimensions of the field: the development of new haptic interfaces, the creation of content for these devices, and the exploration of the psychophysical aspects of how users perceive this content. Haptic interfaces form the backbone of haptic technology, providing the means for interaction. However, without high quality, diverse haptic content created using machine learning and deep learning, these interfaces would have limited applications. Psychophysical research ensures that both the interfaces and the content they deliver are aligned with human sensory capabilities, making the haptic experiences realistic and satisfying.
