Headshot of a brown-skinned young woman with dark, curly hair. She is smiling lightly; a dimple on the right cheek is visible.

Gisela Reyes-Cruz

Hola! I am a Research Fellow at the Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Hub at the University of Nottingham. I am based in the School of Computer Science, as part of the Mixed Reality Lab and Horizon Digital Economy Research.

My area of research is Human Computer Interaction (HCI). Currently, I am investigating collaboration with, trust in, and the feasibility of, autonomous and robotic systems. My background sits at the intersection between Human Computer Interaction, Accessibility, and Ethnomethodology.

My doctoral research presented a design critique of how disability is framed in technology design and provided an approach for centring the competencies and participation of visually impaired people in early-stage design.
