I am a Future Fellow of the Australian Research Council (ARC) and an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science. I am a member of the Executive with the QUT Centre for Robotics where she leads the Human Interaction program.
My research expertise spans human computer interactions and natural language processing. I develop inclusive methodologies to co-design AI-driven multi-modal technologies.

My current research leverages vision-language models for communication technologies and for inclusive robotic technologies that can support people with intellectual disability live, learn, work and drive independently.  I also research the design of human-centered data-driven applications that can scale up environmental surveying practices.
