Profile
I am a PhD candidate studying Human-Computer Interaction at the Faculty of Information University of Toronto, under the supervision of Dr. Cosmin Munteanu. My research is on conversational and voice user interfaces, virtual agents, the inclusive design of technology for older adults, issues of social marginalization, and virtual reality. My research projects have investigated older adults' perceptions of smart speakers, the role of technology on social wellbeing, and how voice interaction can be used in virtual reality. My work has been published at conferences such as CHI, CUI, and MobileHCI, and journals such as the Journal of Human-Computer Interaction. Outputs

However, despite the recent increase in research activity within fields such as CUI, older adults continue to be underrepresented as CUI users both in research and in the design of commercial products. Therefore, the overarching aim of this workshop is to increase the momentum for research that centers on older adults as CUI users. For this, we plan to create an interdisciplinary space that brings together researchers, designers, practitioners, and users, to discuss and share challenges, principles, and strategies for designing CUIs for the ageing population. We thus welcome contributions of empirical studies, theories, design, and evaluation of CUIs for older adults. Through this, we aim to grow the community of CUI researchers across disciplinary boundaries (human-computer interaction, voice and language technologies, geronto-technologies, information studies, etc.) that are engaged in the shared goal of ensuring that older adults are not marginalized or excluded from the design of CUIs.AWCRP-2020-10 University of Toronto | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2023-01-01 | |
