Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of information retrieval and human-computer interaction. I am interested in studying information search behaviour and in developing tools that help people search more successfully. I have been focused in exploring how context can help improve the experience of health consumers searching the Web. In a greater depth, I have explored users' personal context like his proficiency in the English language, health literacy and familiarity with the task in query formulation support.

I have co-authored several publications, as can be seen below.
