| Theng Yin Leng's research interests are mainly in user-centred design, interaction design and usability engineering. She has participated in varying capacities as principal investigator, co-investigator and collaborator in numerous research projects in the United Kingdom and Singapore since 1998. From 1998 ? 2003, she won her first two research grants from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, UK) during her four years of teaching at Middlesex University (London). Since her return to Singapore in 2002, she has received grants from MOE and A*Star (between 2003-2007) to work on mobile media, interface design patterns and usability evaluation techniques. These projects involve usable and useful interfaces for hypertext systems, the Web and mobile environments; e-learning building tools and learning objects; usability evaluation techniques; and geospatial digital libraries. Theng has more than 90 publications and publishes widely in international journals, and conference proceedings. She has graduated two PhDs in the areas of internet ethics and cognitive user modelling, and currently supervising three PhD students in the areas of user-centred information retrieval systems, visualization of ambient information on mobile devices, and value-trust models for social networks. Recent interests include applying user issues to game design, health informatics, security & privacy and children & technologies. |
