Summary
Renan Guarese is a postdoctoral researcher in HCI and AR at KTH with 11 years of experience bridging academia and hands-on development across Brazil, Australia and Sweden. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from RMIT where his thesis focused on audio augmented reality and assistive interfaces for people who are blind, and he has a strong record teaching mixed reality, game development, AI and web courses. His research spans AR/VR applications from situated visualizations of electromagnetic compatibility to AR platforms for physics education, complemented by practical Unity and mobile development experience. Comfortable moving between prototyping and rigorous evaluation, he combines multidisciplinary collaboration with reproducible research—his PhD was defended in 2023 and later published. Notably, his background includes international scholarships and industry-like project roles that sharpen both user-centered design and deployable systems.
