Research


My Research Focus
I have interests that span across Software Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction fields. 
  1. Software Engineering
  2. Inclusivity
  3. Disaster Management
  4. Digital Health
Engagement
In these areas, I have worked with several industry partners and non-profit organisations.  I am currently in the process of forming new connections with some other organisations as well. These can be listed as follows.
  1. Emergency Management Victoria
  2. Australian Fire Council
  3. Australian Institute of Disaster Resilience
  4. Health Metrics Pvt. Ltd
  5. Vision Australia
  6. Ability Forum
  7. SPELD for Learning difficulties
  8. Board of Metrology (to start)
  9. Monash Health and a few other hospitals (in progress)
