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 delay affects operator awareness, control, and decision making, and how interface design can help people remain effective under these conditions. My most recent paper, UNITE: A Modular Testbed for Reproducible Delayed Space Teleoperation, will appear at SpaceCHI 2026. Grounded in a scoping review of 83 studies of delayed teleoperation, we introduce UNITE, an open-source modular testbed that captures the full experimental apparatus as a shareable configuration, so studies of teleoperation under communication delay can be reproduced, compared, and extended without rebuilding the setup. This builds on Every Move You Make: Visualizing Near-Future Motion Under Delay for Telerobotics (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 communication delay. 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.
