As well as being a researcher, I am also an enthusiastic research supervisor. I am involved in supervising students in my research areas, especially PhD students. Here you can see a little more about current supervisions, completed PhD’s and also projects on which I may be willing to consider new research students:
Current Supervisions:
I am currently supervising a number of PhD, Masters, and Honours students. Below is a summary of my current students and their topics:
- “Access to what?” Mediating complex art encountering by gallery and museum visitors who are blind or have low vision (PhD)
- Computational Australian Sign Language Generation (PhD)
- Supporting independent journeys for people who are blind or have low vision (PhD)
- Designing Assistive Technology for Individuals with Pragmatic Conversational Difficulties (PhD)
- Improving Accessibility and Inclusion for People with Blindness and Low Vision on Playgrounds: (PhD)
- Developing a Standardised, Outcomes-Based Functional Vision Assessment Tool for Young People who are Blind or Vision Impaired in Australia (PhD)
- Uncertainty-Aware Verification and Conformal Prediction for Trustworthy LLM Outputs (PhD)
- Perceiving the Past: How immersive virtual reality can augment the study and teaching of history (PhD)
- A Framework of Meaningful Engagement for Blind and Low Vision Visitors in Museums and Galleries (PhD)
Completions:
I also have had a number of supervised students complete, including 9 PhD students, 4 Masters, and over 20 Honours students. Below is a summary of the PhD completions:
- Multi-Sensory Dance: Exploring the Role of Technology in Accessible Dance Education with People who are Blind or have Low Vision and Teachers (2025)
- Using 3D Printing and Computing Devices to Improve Access and Inclusion for the Vision-Impaired (2025)
- Reimagining the past: Slow designing inclusive museum experiences (2024)
- Interactive 3D Models for Blind and Low-Vision People (2024)
- Investigating the design and use of 3D printed models for tactile reading by people who are blind or have low vision (2024)
- Exploration of motivation and self-regulated learning processes in blended learning environments (2021)
- Learning Partner Recommender Systems: Learning Analytics in promoting informal online learning communities in higher education (2020)
- Facilitating collaborative learning in the context of large-scale shared digital spaces (2018)
- Investigating a shared co-located digital collaborative space for learning entity-relationship diagrams (2014)
Potential Student Research Supervision Projects:
Currently I am at capacity for supervision, but I am always willing to consider PhD research proposals relating to the use of new technologies in the provision of Accessible Graphics.
