University of Glasgow - Schools - School of Computing Science - Our staff

Dr. Mohamed Khamis is a lecturer (assistant professor) in the School of Computing Science and a member of the Glasgow Interactive SysTems research section. He received his PhD from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) in Germany. He was supervised by Florian Alt, and Andreas Bulling. He also worked as a research associate at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Germany, and at the German University in Cairo (GUC) in Egypt.

My research interests are at the intersection of Human Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous Computing, and User Privacy and Security. In particular, he works in:

Usable Security and Privacy: I contributed to both: (1) understanding threats to user privacy that are caused/facilitated by ubiquitous technologies, such as thermal attacks (CHI'17, Honorable Mention), and shoulder surfing (CHI'17, MUM'17), and (2) inventing novel ubiquitous systems for protecting user privacy and security on mobile devices (CHI'19, ICMI'17, MTI), public displays (IMWUT, PerDis'17), and in VR (USEC'17).
Designing Gaze-based Systems: I contributed to comprehensively understanding and addressing challenges of gaze interaction on ubiquitous devices, such as mobile devices (CHI'18, MobileHCI'18) and public displays (UIST'17, UbiComp'16, MUM'16), as well as proposing novel concepts that employ gaze to address problems on public displays (CHI'18, IMWUT, PerDis'17), and mobile devices (ICMI'17).

Mohamed has published 50+ peer reviewed papers, including 6 papers at ACM CHI, the top conference in Human-Computer Interaction, two of which received honourable mention awards (top 5% of ~3000 submissions). He also published at top conferences like UIST, UbiComp, ETRA, ICMI and MobileHCI, and top journals like PACM IMWUT.

Mohamed is a program committee member of ACM CHI. He was previously a PC member of CHI LBW, PerDis, MUM, and others. He is the General co-chair of ACM PerDis 2019. He also organized several workshops like PETMEI, ArabHCI and Human-Drone Interaction.

He reviews for top conferences and journals, like ACM ToCHI and ACM ToPS. He gave guest talks in Germany, Italy, Egypt and the UK.

Many of Mohamed's accomplishments resulted from collaborations with scholars in Germany, UK, France, USA, Japan, Finland, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, and Egypt.

He is a member of ACM and SIGCHI. He is a founding member of Cairo ACM SIGCHI chapter, and co-organized the first ArabHCI workshop at CHI 2018.

I worked in a diversity of topics within HCI, privacy and ubiquitous computing. In particular, I am active in the fields of eye tracking, pervasive displays, usable security, and user privacy. My contributions are at the crossroads of user privacy and ubiquitous computing:

- Usable Security and Privacy: I contributed to both: (1) understanding threats to user privacy that are caused/facilitated by ubiquitous technologies, such as thermal attacks (CHI'17, Honorable Mention), and shoulder surfing (CHI'17, MUM'17), and (2) inventing novel ubiquitous systems for protecting user privacy on mobile devices (ICMI'17, MTI), public displays (IMWUT, PerDis'17), and in VR (USEC'17).

- Designing Gaze-based Systems: I contributed to comprehensively understanding and addressing challenges of gaze interaction on ubiquitous devices, such as mobile devices (CHI'18,MobileHCI'18) and public displays (UIST'17, UbiComp'16, MUM'16), as well as proposing novel concepts that employ gaze to address problems on public displays (CHI'18, IMWUT, PerDis'17), and mobile devices (ICMI'17).
