This research investigates cognitive diversity in software engineering. Through eye-tracking and think-aloud studies, it shows that engineers approach problems differently, while existing software tools often favour particular thinking styles. Designing more inclusive tools could improve performance, broaden participation in decision-making, and reduce unintended bias in the technologies we build.

This research teaches AI to understand and generate the sense of touch by combining visual information with high-resolution tactile data. The technology enables realistic digital textures, improves online shopping, enhances virtual experiences, and creates accessible tactile graphics for blind and low-vision users, making AI more inclusive and human-centred.
