Hi, I'm Humphrey! 👋

Research Associate @ King's College London · PhD in Computer Science

Building human-centred technologies at the intersection of GenAI and accessibility

Website Google Scholar LinkedIn Twitter

I build human-centred technologies focused on real-world accessibility. I'm currently a Research Associate at King's College London working on Advokit — an inclusive GenAI toolkit co-designed with people with aphasia to support access to public services including benefit navigation and language assistance. My PhD examined wearable and discreet AAC technologies for stroke survivors, across 4 years of participatory design with 200+ participants in disadvantaged London communities. Previously interned at Microsoft Research, Ability Team, designing AI-powered meeting agents for Microsoft Teams.
