About
I am a Professor in Document Analysis and Accessibility at the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK. I am also an Adjunct Faculty at IIT Delhi.
For many years I have worked on STEM accessibility. As a visiting scientist at Google I integrated mathematics support into the ChromeVox screen reader. As a member of the MathJax consortium I am working on formula accessibility on the web. Most recently, I have contributed to the automatic transcription of LaTeX textbooks into tactile Braille books and I have developed technology to automatically make STEM diagrams accessible for the use in teaching and science.
As CTO of Helix Opportunity I am responsible for the development of barrier free learning and teaching environments as well as user experience research with a particular focus on supporting users with cognitive disabilities.
