Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRiccardo Bovo is a Research Fellow blending AI, HCI, and immersive XR to build privacy-preserving, deployable biometric and attention-aware systems that make immersive tech safer and more intuitive. With a PhD from Imperial College London and nine years' experience spanning academia and industry, he has led Innovate UK-funded work on continuous age verification for XR and published XR agentic-AI and eye-tracking multimodal pipelines during internships at Google and Autodesk. He combines hands-on Unity/Python prototyping with CNN and behavioural-inference modelling, and he has a track record of translating research into products—from factory-floor MR guidance at UCL to 3D web customization in industry. Notably, his work uses subtle signals like dorsal-hand imagery and gaze-driven contextual memory to address real policy and usability challenges in immersive spaces.
