My research interests include:
. Teaching
. User Interface
. Usability
. Design
. Creativity

... My fascination on HCI and specially Interface Design, dates the second year of my degree on new communication technologies (or, in other words, Multimedia), in 1994. This interest was reflected on my final degree project, on my Masters Thesis (Analisys, design and evaluation centred on the world-wide web user) and has prevailed until now.

Currently I am a Phd Student at Lancaster University, working with Professor Alan Dix. I am interested in understanding how usability can be done in a way that it not only preserves creativity, but also enhances it. This has particular relevance if we consider the new paradigms of interaction design, in which innovation plays a particular role.

In the past, I have done several things, but the most relevant are spread over three main activities: first, and more important, teaching, then, doing consultancy on usability evaluation, and, finally, developing research for a European project.

As a teacher, and along 7 years, I have taught various disciplines, such as: multimedia, design, databases or informatics for management, on graduate and post-graduate courses.
