Biography

I am a PhD student at UHasselt, where I research how humans interact with robots from a distance through teleoperation. My work focuses on how communication delays affect operator awareness, control, and decision making, and how interface design can help people remain effective under these conditions. Recently, my paper Every Move You Make: Visualizing Near Future Motion Under Delay for Telerobotics was accepted at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2026), where we introduced and evaluated predictive visualizations that show a robot’s near future motion to help operators anticipate delayed feedback and improve control under latency. Beyond research, I enjoy the teaching side of academia, where I guide students and supervise theses. I am part of the Intelligible Interactive Systems group at UHasselt Digital Future Lab.
