Professional Information
Bujar Raufi is an assistant lecturer and a researcher at TU Dublin specializing in assessing cognitive load in user interfaces.
He holds a PhD in Communications and Computer Technologies – Computer Systems, Complexes and Networks from Technical University in Sofia, Bulgaria. His research background is in designing and implementing new approaches and directions regarding user Adaptive Intelligent Systems by fusing Data Mining and IR techniques with Semantic Web. He was awarded a Marie Curie fellowship in 2020 and is researching the field of Human Mental Workload and personalization. The fellowship involves developing personalized user interfaces based on cognitive load, more precisely utilizing human mental workload to generate indexes for user modelling for personalisation.
Before joining TU Dublin, he spent seventeen years as a teaching assistant at South East European University and three years on the online learning team, where he was responsible for implementing and disseminating Digital Learning materials for various undergraduate and postgraduate courses in computer science programs.
