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 researcher with the Computer Human Adapted Interaction (CHAI)
research group at the University of Sydney, working on the Multi-Channel Content Delivery
and Mobile Personalisation project funded by the Smart Services CRC. He is also currently
finishing-up his PhD thesis, at the same group, under the supervision of Professor Judy
Kay. His thesis explores the nature of file system access in pervasive computing,
focusing on collaborative tabletop interaction. His PhD research is supported by the
Smart Services CRC. Prior to commencing his PhD, he completed a B.Comp.Sci (Adv) degree
(also at the University of Sydney), and graduated with first class honours. His honours
thesis was also in the area of tabletop interaction, exploring early ideas on
collaborative file access around a multi-user tabletop interface.
