Klood Ahmad (Deakin University)

Main Supervisor: A/Prof. Mohamed Abdelrazek
Co -Supervisor: Prof. John Grundy

Khlood's research interest is in finding human centric requirements for Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered software systems.  She has previously worked on trying to use virtual reality to provide navigation and pre-navigation solutions for people with vision impairments.


Ben Philip (Deakin University)

Main Supervisor: A/Prof. Mohamed Abdelrazek (Deakin)
Co-Supervisors: Prof. John Grundy, Dr Alessio Bonti (Deakin)

Ben is a PhD student at Deakin University and is associated with the ARC Hub for Digital Enhanced Living. His PhD project focuses on mobile health (mHealth) and software engineering, particularly on how we can develop better software for the mobile health domain through an architecture that allows integrating several health services and devices into one 'container'. With this approach, he hopes to solve three problems in this area - (1) how health applications can be created without needing to manage external overheads (connecting to devices, managing data, writing a lot of boilerplate code for similar apps etc.); (2) how several sensors can be integrated to one platform and how applications can share data with each other; (3) how user experience can be improved to increase the adoption of mHealth technology in any healthcare environment (such as a nursing home).
