Hi, I’m Daniel.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
Who am I?
Good question… I’m Daniel Gill, I’m a student at Queen Mary University of London studying for a PhD in Computer Science with the support of my supervisor Dr Ekaterina Ivanova. My research is primarily focused in the areas of human-computer and human-robot interaction, particularly looking at how those with disabilities and autism can interact with technology better to support the individuals wellbeing and understanding of their own disability.
I want to help to bridge the gap between those with disabilities and the technology they interact with. As an autistic person, I hope to do that, at least in part, for other autistic and neurodivergent individuals around the world. I’m particularly keen to build connections between neurodivergent people and researchers through the new MINDS network, which I have established alongside my supervisor, Dr Ekaterina Ivanova.
I am also passionate about advocating for and supporting people with disabilities within the university. I am part of the Students with Disabilities and Neurodivergent society, and involved in running varied events from social get-togethers for our members to educational introductions to a range of disabilities and neurodivergent conditions.
Publications
I haven’t had any formal publications as of yet… but I have written several articles for the computer science magazine, CS4FN, as well as blog posts which I have and will release on this site. Latest posts are on the right, with the full list on the blog posts page.
