Aluna Everitt - CV Bristol Interaction Group, [email protected]

I am interested in pursuing practical and interdisciplinary research in the disciplines of human computer interaction, design, and engineering in a cooperative and competitive research environment to help me expand my research endeavours, focusing on shape-changing technologies and digital fabrication. My research vision is to utilise digital fabrication for developing the next generation of interactive systems (e.g. multi-scale and shape-changing interfaces). To achieve this I aim to define a design space for multi-scale technology as I believe this is key to advance the development of our future interfaces and intergated systems. Education Background 2015 - PhD in Human Computer Interaction 2019 School of Computing and Communications, Lancaster University Thesis Title: Supporting the Design and Development of Shape-Changing Displays Through Digital Fabrication Approaches. Supervisor: Dr. Jason Alexander 2012 - Undergraduate Bachelor of Science. First Class (Honours) 2015 Lancaster University, United Kingdom Bachelor’s in Information Technology for Creative Industries. (software development, web applications, digital imaging, databases, networking…). Dissertation: Novel Approach to Interface Fabrication Using Laser Cut Optically Clear Perspex. Research Experience 2019 – Research Associate at Bristol Interaction Group (BIG Lab), University of Bristol Present (Prof Mike Fraser & Dr. Anne Roudaut) Specialising in developing new fabrication techniques using novel acoustic technologies (e.g. ultrasound). Working as part of a cross-disciplinary team. Summer Visiting Researcher at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada 2018 (Advisor: Prof. Audrey Girouard - Creative Interactions Lab) Designing and developing digital fabrication approach for multi-material 3D printed deformable wearables with embedded electronics. Summer Research Assistant, Lancaster University (Advisor: Dr. Jason Alexander) 2015 Research on the development of interactive shape-changing public installations. Summer Summer Research Intern, HighWire Doctorial Training Centre (Prof Gordon Blair) 2014 Experience multi-disciplinary research approaches infusing computer science, management and design.
