I’m an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University, where I direct the Graphics and Experiential Media (GEM) Lab. I’m also current chair of the HCI, Visualization, and Graphics research cluster at Dal.

My research generally explores post-desktop computer interfaces, particularly their relationship to the built environment and to human physicality. The work crosses a range of technical domains, including interactive visualization, mobile computing, mixed reality environments, interactive exhibits and whole body interaction. I am also interested in the design of technologies to support spatial thinking in situ (when wayfinding, exploring, annotating, dispatching, etc.). Details about a number of the projects I have worked on are available on this page, but the GEM lab website is the more up-to-date resource.
