Faculty

Prof. Stacey Scott, Director Dr. Scott is a Full Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Guelph and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering and the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. She is also a Member of Waterloo's Games Institute. Her background is in human-computer interaction, computer-supported collaboration, and computer science. Her research focuses on designing emerging technologies, especially that support small-group collaborative work. She specializes in the design of interactive large displays and multi-display systems that support collaboration in a wide variety of application domains, including tabletop gaming, military command and control, and emergency response. Since joining the University of Guelph in 2016, Dr. Scott's research interests have expanded to include the design of emerging technologies in farming contexts, especially livestock farming. Her work in this area intersects with the two emerging fields of precision livestock farming and animal-computer interaction, combining her experience in emerging technologies and user-centred design with her passion for animal health and welfare.

Postdoctoral Fellows

This could be you!  If you are a highly motivated graduating or recently graduated PhD student with expertise in the areas of HCI, Surface Computing, and/or Information Visualization, are great with people, and are seeking a Postdoctoral position, please see the CSL Positions Available page for current funded positions. If you have your own funding, please contact CSL Director, Dr. Stacey Scott ( stacey.scott@uoguelph.ca).

Current Graduate Students

Leila Homaeian (PhD Student, University of Waterloo) Leila is a PhD student in Systems Design Engineering. She studies large interactive surfaces, such as wall displays and digital tabletops, and how to support co-located collaboration around them. Leila received her MSc. degree in Software Engineering from the University of Alberta. Leila's PhD thesis work concerns the development of interaction techniques that support small-group collaboration involving large- and multi-display interactive environments.

This could be you!  If you are a highly motivated student with expertise or interest in the areas of HCI, Information Visualization, and/or the use of technology to improve animal health and welfare, and are not afraid of hard (but very interesting!) work please see the CSL Positions Available page for current funded graduate positions.

Research Assistants; Co-op Students; Visiting Students

	Zayn Abbas Zayn has been a Undergraduate Research Assistant (URA) with CSL since summer 2021, and is currently completing a second summer URA internship for 2022. Zayn is completing a software engineering degree with a minor in mathematics at the University of Guelph, and has a background in animal biology and international development. In CSL, he is assisting on a systematic literature review on the topic of computer vision related approaches to monitoring the health and welfare of livestock animals in outdoor habitats, like pastures, and is also exploring the use of deep learning models for livestock detection.
	Garrett Holmes Garrett is completing a summer URA internship in CSL. Garrett is completing a computer science degree with a minor in geographical information systems (GIS) and environmental analysis at the University of Guelph. In CSL, he is exploring the use of deep learning models for livestock detection.
