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 individuals around the world. I’m particularly keen to include those with disabilities as collaborators in research.
I am also passionate about advocating for and supporting people with disabilities within the university. I am part of the Students with Disabilities society, and involved in running varied events from social get-togethers for our members to educational introductions to a range of disabilities.
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.
