Research
I welcome applications from qualified individuals for PhD, Postdoctoral, and Visiting Scholar positions via the following channels: Liverpool-CSC scholarship; Commonwealth PhD scholarship; Newton International Fellowship; Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships.
In addition, I have some funded projects for which I would like to seek MPhil/PhD students to develop further:
Project 1: Collaborative design of accessible and effective XR applications for mental health improvement and employment support in depressed adults, funded by EPSRC Harmonised Impact Acceleration, 2025.
Project 2: Co-designing digital twins for biophilic design in urban environments, funded by EPSRC Harmonised Impact Acceleration, 2024.
Colour Science, Design, and Technology
My research explores the intersection of colour science, design, and technology in both real-world and virtual environments. I investigate how colour influences human perception, cognitive performance, and emotional responses, applying these insights to create innovative design solutions. By integrating colour theory with emerging technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), I aim to enhance user experiences in fields ranging from healthcare to product design. Additionally, I explore how colour and technology can be used to promote sustainable practices and improve quality of life in both physical and digital spaces.
Immersive Computing Technologies
My research focuses on immersive computing technologies, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and digital twins. I explore how these technologies can create engaging, multi-sensory experiences that enhance learning, communication, and well-being. My work applies immersive technologies and digital twins across various domains, such as education, healthcare, culture heritage, and urban planning, aiming to bridge the gap between physical and virtual worlds. Additionally, I investigate how these tools can foster social and emotional connections, improve accessibility, and promote sustainable practices, especially in the context of smart cities and environmental management.
AI-Human Collaboration in Design
My research focuses on AI-human collaboration in design, exploring how artificial intelligence can augment human creativity and decision-making processes. I investigate how AI can be integrated into design workflows to co-create innovative solutions, enhance user experience, and address complex challenges across various domains. My work emphasizes the development of AI systems that support human-centered, collaborative design, promoting ethical, accessible, and sustainable outcomes.
