Dr Rui Wang

Senior Lecturer, Emerging Technologies

Before joining SIT, Dr. Rui Wang worked as “research fellow in architecture and integral design” of MInD Lab (Mediated Intelligence in Design Lab), School of Architecture and Built Environment, Deakin University. Originally from a computer science background, she has over 10 years of experience in deploying immerging technologies, in particular AR, VR and video game technology in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) sector. She gained her MPhil degree from Key Centre of Design Computing and Cognition of Sydney University and PhD from UNSW.

At Deakin, she leads two industry funded research projects that investigate the roles of VR and AR in the design of future cities. Her research interests also include “Ambient User Interface”, around which she is developing a research framework with Prof. Tuba Kocaturk under a recent Innovation Connection funding scheme and an international collaborative research grant.

 

Dr Guy Wood-Bradley

Lecturer, Information Technology

Dr Guy Wood-Bradley is a Lecturer in Information Technology in the School of IT at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, with teaching and research interests in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), interactive and virtual technologies, robotics and professional skills. With a PhD in HCI that focused on the engagement, enrichment and entertainment value of interactive technologies and additional experience in education technologies, he is enthusiastic about the learning opportunities technology is providing students. These products and services, however, should meet specific and identified needs and these new solutions should be enjoyable and easy-to-use. His research expertise focuses on user-centred design, user profiling, interface and interaction design, and user testing with an interest in learner analytics. In teaching and supervision, insistence on considering user needs and the overall user experience is reinforced in areas such as virtual reality and robotics with recognised excellence in assisting students develop their professionalism and employability capabilities.
