Research Interests
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), novel user interfaces to file systems and personal information,
collaborative and group-oriented software, tabletop interfaces, pervasive and ubiquitous computing.
About
Anthony Collins is a PhD student with the Computer Human Adapted Interaction (CHAI) Research Group at the
University of Sydney. In 2006 he completed a Bachelor of Computer Science and Technology (Advanced) degree
(also at the University of Sydney), and graduated with first class honours. His honours thesis was in the area of
tabletop interaction, and explored the issue of supporting collaborative file access around a multi-user tabletop interface.
In 2007 he started his PhD under the supervision of Professor Judy Kay, also in the area of collaborative tabletop information
retrieval. His research is supported by an Australia Postgraduate Award (APA) scholarship, as well as a Smart Services CRC
top-up scholarship. Prior to the commencement of the Smart Services CRC (mid 2008), he received a Smart Internet Technology
CRC top-up scholarship.
