I'm a Post-doctoral Researcher and Lecturer at ETH Zurich working in the Global Information Systems Group with Moira Norrie. My research and teaching interests are centred around web engineering, user interface engineering, interaction design and user experience including such topics as context-aware and adaptive systems, multi-device and gesture-based interaction, end-user development and crowdsourcing.

My PhD thesis explores lightweight approaches to highly adaptive web interfaces based on crowdsourced adaptation [ICWE'11, EICS'13a], language-integrated context-awareness [WWW, EICS'12] and adaptivity metrics [CHI'11, CHI'13].

I'm currently working on new concepts, methods and tools for designing, building and studying multi-device, distributed user interfaces. I've recently also started a new thread on crowdsourced engineering [ICWE'12, EICS'13b], taking some of the crowdsourcing techniques of my thesis further.

 

Curriculum Vitae

Courses

In the spring semester 2013, I'm teaching a new project-driven course Principles of Interaction Design that focuses on designing interactive systems for mobile and multi-device settings.

In the autumn semester 2013, I'll be teaching Human-Computer Interaction and Mobile and Personal Information Systems.

Projects

Interested in a student project?

We're always looking for talented students interested in contributing to our ongoing research projects. Just contact me (or any other group member) and we're usually able to find an interesting project that matches both your and our interests.

 
jqmetrics

Context-Adaptive Web Interfaces

  • 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 (WWW 2012 article)
  • jQMetrics: an evaluation tool for web developers and designers to analyse web page layout and perform measurements along a set of empirically derived metrics (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 (DocEng 2011 paper)
 
fbtouch

Multi-touch Web Interfaces

  • 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 (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: an evaluation tool for web designers to assess the usability of web interfaces on touch devices as well as a toolkit for automating the adaptation process to different touch device contexts based on simple usability metrics (CHI 2013 paper)
 
crowdadapt

Crowdsourced Web Engineering

  • CrowdAdapt: a web site tool for crowdsourcing adaptations for additional viewing conditions not considered in the original design (first EICS 2013 paper); the enabling tools and architecture were originally described in our ICWE 2011 paper
  • 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 (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 (second EICS 2013 paper; see also our ICWE 2012 demo paper)
