Interests

I am interested in intelligent ways to present the user with a variety of relevant information about a topic. This information should be presented in a way that does not interrupt the user's habitual web browsing practices and it should lead the user to a faster way to learn about a topic.
I am interested in enhancing these information retrieval techniques by creating social media content around them.
In the past I have worked on the design of tutoring systems, in particular Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs)
