Research Interests

The research focuses on how to deliver mammographic interpretation training using various systems. It concentrates upon: 1) the potential use of eye movement information for future training in interpreting mammograms; 2) the potential for providing computer-based interpretation training using low-cost and hand-held devices. The whole research involves three main research domains; breast screening (in particular mammography), visual search, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
