Prospective Students
Students interested in HCI and Visualization are welcome to contact me by e-mail to explore the possibility to become my student and a SACHI member and obtain a PhD or a Master degree. Please, refer in your e-mail to one or more topics of interest. It will also help if you have ideas in mind about example projects to do in those areas and/or specific research questions of interest. All requests that are not completely off-topic (e.g., I am not interested academically in cloud-computing performance) will be answered.
As a student in the SACHI group we demand hard work, but you can also expect:
- Personal supervision (one-on-one meetings on a weekly basis)
- Support in becoming a proficient academic writer
- Support to visit relevant academic conferences
- Belonging to a dynamic and collaborative group of researchers (academics and students)
My topics of interest are:
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Input Technologies (multi-point interaction, object spatial manipulation, gestural interfaces, haptics, gaze-contingent displays)
- Output Technologies and new devices (multi-display environments, gaze-contingent displays)
- Visual Perception applied to HCI
- Information Visualization
- Spatial visual manipulation
- Typographyc elements of information visualization
- Visual Perception applied to HCI
- Applications
- Cognitive augmentation
- Digital tourism
- Private and public interaction
If you have a strong desire to make an impact in any of these areas (or related), please contact me by e-mail at: mans@st-andrews.ac.uk.
