About

Future interactive systems will learn directly from their users, and continuously adapt to their preferences. My research goal is to develop exploration, reward, and learning approaches that will make this possible. [...]

  • Research Collection – Hands-on research and prototyping for haptics
    While many of us think of human-computer interaction as a job for the eyes, ears and mind, we don’t think as often about the importance and complexity of our tactile interactions with computers. Haptics – the sense of touch or tactile sensations – permeates our computing experience, though we are often so habituated to it […] The post Research Collection – H […]
  • Microsoft Research collaborates with KAIST in Korea to explore bimanual interactions with haptic feedback in virtual reality
    Editor’s Note: Bimanual controllers are frequently used to enhance the realism and immersion of virtual reality experiences such as games and simulations. Researchers have typically relied on mechanical linkages between the controllers to recreate the sensation of holding different objects with both hands. However, those linkages cannot quickly adapt to simu […]
  • Advancing Excel as a programming language with Andy Gordon and Simon Peyton Jones
    Today, people around the globe—from teachers to small-business owners to finance executives—use Microsoft Excel to make sense of the information that occupies their respective worlds, and whether they realize it or not, in doing so, they’re taking on the role of programmer. In this episode, Senior Principal Research Manager Andy Gordon, who leads the Calc In […]
