Lecture on Digital Heritage and XR at CWI

On the 19th of November, I was invited to present my research endeavours at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), which, amongst great accomplishments in computing and the internet in Europe, is considered the birthplace of the Python programming language. I presented my work on spatial computing for automated vehicle and pedestrian interactions, as well as for critical interfaces in control rooms. I also explored my current work in applied technological solutions for th

Reappointed Committee Member at the MSA

Following a hiatus of several years due to engagements abroad, I am pleased to announce that I have been reappointed as a committee member at the Malta Society of Arts. I look forward to contributing once again to the Society’s mission by exploring how scientific and technological advances can intertwine with artistic practices, and also with cultural heritage. I’m particularly interested to explore how technology can be used to enhance artistic expression, creative learning,

Associate Chair at DDW - Design United

I am pleased to have served as an associated chair for the Design United exhibition at the Dutch Design Week 2025, Europe's largest Design Event. My role was to judge, select, and curate a number of works across the 4 largest technical universities of the Netherlands, related to the 'Digital Futures' theme. At the same time, I was inviting contributing authors to the digital magazine and organising a dialogue session at DDW. On Wednesday 22nd, the dialogue session on Digita
