Research Scientist in AR/VR and Immersive Analytics

JPMorganChase, Global Technology Applied Research

Hi there :)

I am currently a Senior Associate Research Scientist in the Global Technology Applied Research XR Team at JPMorganChase. My research focuses on the human-centred aspects of virtual and augmented reality, with a particular focus on Immersive Analytics. My work has been published in top-tier peer-reviewed venues, primarily ACM CHI and IEEE VIS. I have also received a Best Paper (Honourable Mention) Awards from CHI 2025, CHI 2022, VIS 2021, and ISS 2021.

Before this, I was a postdoctoral researcher at VISUS, University of Stuttgart where I worked with Dieter Schmalstieg and Michael Sedlmair.

I received my PhD at the Data Visualisation and Immersive Analytics Lab (now Embodied Visualisation Lab) at Monash University. My advisors were Tim Dwyer, Bernhard Jenny, Maxime Cordeil, and Arnaud Prouzeau.
