About Me
Networks
In last few years, I have contributed to the design and implementation of strategies
in a variety of technical teams and research consortia. I have led the development
of systems for automation, immersive visualisation, and statistical analysis. I have
worked as a technical architect, system designer, and software engineer, and have
published research in education, wearable technology, and acceptance modelling.

Immersive Technology for Workplace Training
My research investigated the use of Augmented Reality and wearable technology as educational tools. It described the construction
and use of AR authoring software and wearable devices in three
knowledge-intensive use cases: healthcare, aeronautics and space.
