Human–Computer Interaction
Designing and evaluating interactive systems around the needs, constraints, and behaviours of real users.
RESEARCH × HCI × SPORT
Research
I study how interactive systems can support youth athletes and coaches in settings where time, staffing, and access to specialised resources are limited.
CURRENTLY
Human–computer interaction for real-world sports environments.
I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at Brigham Young University. My work focuses on adolescent sub-elite youth sports and the role technology can play in performance, club coordination, and injury prevention.
The through-line is designing for contexts where the usual assumptions don’t hold: no expert operator, no dedicated staff, no budget for the thing that would obviously solve the problem. I’m particularly interested in systems that fit into existing coaching and athlete workflows rather than adding complexity to them.
FOCUS AREAS
Sports Technology
Exploring how digital tools can help athletes and coaches understand training, performance, and development.
Youth Athletics
Studying technology in sub-elite environments, where teams often operate with far fewer specialised resources.
Injury Prevention
Investigating how interactive tools and useful data representations can support healthier participation in sport.
GUIDING QUESTION
How can we build technology that gives athletes and coaches useful insight without making their work harder?
Published work across these areas is on the Publications page; systems in development are under Projects.
