Hi there! I’m Lee Lisle, a Ph.D Research Associate at the University of Central Florida in the Synthetic Reality Lab (SREAL) under Dr. Greg Welch and Dr. Gerd Bruder. I graduated from CS @ VT and I am an alumni member of the 3D Interaction Group directed by my advisor, Dr. Doug A. Bowman. I was also a member of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI) at Virginia Tech.

My expertise is in designing, implementing, and evaluating interaction techniques in augmented and virtual reality, with a specialty in sensemaking and cognition research. I also do research in perception and cognition in virtual environments, information access methods in augmented reality, and identity and representations of self in virtual reality. I champion the importance of transdisciplinary work in human-computer interaction, as the future of AR is relevant to all domains and will be a part of daily life.

I have also worked is in conjunction with Dr. Chris North of the InfoVis Lab and Sanghani Center for AI and Data Analytics working on Immersive Space to Think (IST). IST is an immersive analytics approach for assisting cognition and sensemaking that provides users a place to organize their thoughts and extract additional meaning from complex datasets.

I am currently on the job market looking at both industry and academic positions!
