Hugo Nicolau is an Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon and an integrated researcher at ITI/LARSyS. His research interests include human-computer interaction (HCI) and accessibility within the field of Ubiquitous Computing, focusing on the design, development, and evaluation of novel inclusive technologies. Hugo's goals include creating meaningful technologies that empower people with disabilities to address high-impact problems in areas such as education, health, citizenship, and social inclusion. His research methods extend mostly from the discipline of HCI and are informed by perspectives in design justice, psychology, sociology, and disability studies. His work in human-computer interaction and accessibility originated 60+ papers published in many top venues such as CHI, ASSETS, HRI, from which he received five best paper awards. In the past five years, he participated in 11+ funded research projects, currently leads a European project, and contributes as an HCI expert in five others. Hugo currently advises 1 Postdoc and 6 PhD students. He has previously served as conference chair, program chair, and program committee member at several international conferences in his field, such as CHI, ASSETS, and HRI. He currently serves as a member of the editorial board for Transactions on Accessible Computing. He leads a research team on inclusive computing and is Vice-President of the ITI/LARSyS research unit. Hugo received his PhD in Information Systems and Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Lisbon in 2013.
