I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Western University, where I also direct the Human-Centric Computing Group (HCCG). Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at Wilfrid Laurier University in the User Experience Design Program. I hold a MASc and PhD in Systems Design Engineering from University of Waterloo.
My research group conducts interdisciplinary studies in interactive computing systems, focusing on three areas: entertainment computing, human-centered artificial intelligence, and systems in complex environments. We blend Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and cognitive engineering methods to develop systems that balance entertainment and productivity, tailored to human needs and constraints. We also consider the ethical and administrative implications of our work, aiming to create functionally effective, ethically sound, and user-centric systems. My research is generously funded by the Tri-agency and MITACS.

Join our research team at the intersection of HCI and AI! We're working on innovative projects, including the use of foundation models as surrogate users in UX testing, incorporating them as NPCs in gaming, and developing advanced human-centric metrics to evaluate their impact. If you're interested in these areas, contact Dr. Rehman at urehman6@uwo.ca to explore research opportunities. We're committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment.
