Supporting Designers in Voice User Interface


PhD Thesis Research

  • Exploring the design of conversational voice interfaces, and developing tools and heuristics to assist designers in designing for VUIs and educating about VUI design
  • Exploring how to bridge the knowledge transfer gap between academia and industry for Conversational Voice Interface Design
  • Exploring how we can improve Conversational Voice Interface education (academic and industry)
  • Worked on developing a set of 14 design heuristics for Voice User Interfaces representing the most universally proposed principles of VUI design, as captured through a rigorous systematic meta-analysis of 336 VUI guidelines across 40 papers identified in academic literature
  • Worked on validating these design heuristics with expert industry VUI designers
