Hello, my name is Kadek!

I am an HCI researcher and educator at Action Lab, Monash University, Australia, under the mentorship of Prof. Patrick Olivier. I am also affiliated with Embodied Visualisation Group where I was mentored by Prof. Tim Dwyer. Before re-joining Monash, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Wearable Computer Lab, University of South Australia, where I was mentored by Emeritus Prof. Bruce Thomas, A/Prof Ross Smith, and Dr. Andrew Cunningham. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Monash University under the mentorship of A/Prof. Bernhard Jenny, Dr. Barrett Ens, Dr. Maxime Cordeil, and Prof. Tobias Czauderna.

A large part of my work revolves around techniques for understanding data through visualisation and/or multi-sensory data representations enabled by spatial computing technologies. Here area selected papers that I have published with my collaborators:

- ProxSituated Visualization (CHI ’23)

- Tangible Globes for Data Visualisation in AR (CHI ’22)
📢 Led to collaboration with David Rumsey Map Center, Stanford University

- Quantitative Data Visualisation on Virtual Globes (CHI ’21)
📢 Featured in the Thematic Cartography and Geovisualization, Fourth Edition textbook (2022)

- Maps Around Me (ISS ’20)

- AR Map Navigation with Freehand Gestures (VR ’19)

- Active Proxy Dashboard (CHI ’23)
