Welcome to my homepage. I am a Reader at the Centre for Human-Computer Interaction Design , School of Informatics of City University , London. Before joining City University, I was a researcher at the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University from where I also got my Ph.D. in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). My research interests lie in HCI with an emphasis on inclusive design and social aspects of computing. I am especially interested in HCI issues related to the elderly and people with disabilities. I am also interested in internet related research (web usability, mathematical modelling of browsing behaviour in hierarchical online information systems, online communities, e-learning, web based digital libraries and finally social network analysis of online human-to-human interactions).

What's New (Last update: 10 Aug 2008):

• In Oct 2008 I will be delivering a tutorial on Social Network Analysis at NordiCHI 2008 conference
  
• Student project topics I am interested in supervising
