Current research focus: GenAI & Accessible UI Design
My PhD research at Universitatea „Ștefan cel Mare" of Suceava investigates how generative AI systems can be used and designed to enhance UI accessibility, under the supervision of professor Radu-Daniel Vatavu.
I'm particularly focused on:
Developing frameworks for evaluating interfaces against accessibility standards
Creating design patterns that leverage GenAI capabilities to support users with diverse needs
Exploring compliance and how emerging LLMs or AI design tools can be adapted for accessible content creation through prompt engineering
Keywords: Generative AI Interface Design, Digital Accessibility (a11y), Human-AI Interaction, Inclusive Design Methodologies. EU Accessibility & AI Regulations
This work builds on my experience designing complex design systems and web interactions while addressing critical gaps in current accessibility practices for emerging technologies.
