Alexandra Uitdenbogerd

Dr. Alexandra Uitdenbogerd is an Associate Professor in the School of Science at RMIT University, based at the City Campus in Australia. She actively supervises PhD and Masters research students and maintains a focus on interdisciplinary research. Her primary research interests include usability engineering for neurodivergent users (e.g., Autism/ADHD), computational linguistics applied to language learning, and computer music innovation. She also explores recommender systems and cross-platform user experience design.

Her teaching interests align closely with her research: Usability and Autism/ADHD, Readability Measurement (Linguistic Complexity), Computer Music (focusing on Music Information Retrieval and generative systems), and Recommender Systems. She has contributed to commissioned reports on topics like IELTS writing competencies for Computer Science PhDs and vocabulary acquisition via extensive reading.

Dr. Uitdenbogerd’s research trends reflect a growing emphasis on AI-driven creativity (e.g., Eurovision-Themed AI Song Contest collaborations), neurodiversity-friendly design (studying autistic/non-autistic user interactions with animated interfaces), and computational linguistics (assessing readability for non-native speakers). Her work bridges music technology (e.g., data choralification) with HCI and educational systems.

Her lab/team affiliations include the RMIT MIRT Research Group, evident in her contributions to music-related studies. She has no explicitly listed scientific awards but demonstrates sustained academic engagement through peer-reviewed publications and collaborative projects.
