I'm a PhD student in Prof. Moira Norrie's research group at ETH Zurich where my research spans the web engineering and HCI disciplines. My dissertation work explores lightweight approaches to highly adaptive web interfaces by combining domain-specific language approaches [WISE'10, WWW'12] and crowdsourcing techniques [ICWE'11a, ICWE'11b]. The goal is to support developers in the design and implementation of context-adaptive web interfaces that can accommodate a wide range of small to large display settings [CHI'11, DocEng'11] as well as multi-touch interaction contexts [EICS'12]. I've recently also started to take some of the crowdsourcing ideas of my thesis further by looking at crowdsourced web engineering and design [ICWE'12a] as well as crowdsourced web site evaluation [ICWE'12b]. My other, current research addresses end-user support for information capturing and browsing, as well as supporting the design and development of innovative information management tools [CAiSE'11a, CAiSE'11b].

Interested in a student project?

	Developer Support for Context-Adaptive Web Applications XCML: a domain-specific language that tightly integrates context-aware concepts and multi-dimensional adaptivity mechanisms using context matching expressions based on a formally-defined context algebra (see our WWW 2012 article) CrowdAdapt: a crowdsourcing tool for web site adaptations using lightweight adaptation techniques and an extension of the common web application architecture as well as visual tools to facilitate the end-user adaptation process (see our ICWE 2011 paper)
	Adaptation to Large-Screen Contexts jQMetrics: an evaluation tool for web developers and designers to analyse web page layout and perform measurements along a set of empirically derived metrics (see our CHI 2011 paper) The Adaptive Guardian: an application of an adaptive layout template with support for automatic text and media scaling, multi-column layout and higher-quality media content (see our DocEng 2011 paper)
	Adaptation to Touch and Multi-touch jQMultiTouch: jQuery-like toolkit and rapid prototyping framework for multi-device/multi-touch web interfaces providing a unified method for the specification of gesture-based multi-touch interactions (see our EICS 2012 paper) FBTouch: one of the first applications based on jQMultiTouch exploring a set of multi-level adaptations of the Facebook picture tagging interface with simple touch enhancements and specific support for multi-touch interaction (see also EICS 2012 paper) W3Touch: evaluation tool for web developers to assess the usability of web interfaces on touch devices as well as a toolkit for crowdsourced adaptation of web interfaces for touch (in submission)
	Crowdsourced Web Engineering CrowdDesign: introducing a crowdsourced web engineering approach to support both developers and end-users in the composition and design of web sites with the help of crowds (see our ICWE 2012 paper) CrowdStudy: a toolkit and general framework for recruiting larger amounts of test users and guiding them through asynchronous remote web site usability evaluations (see our ICWE 2012 demo)
