Kyle Montague is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing at Newcastle University, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction with a strong emphasis on accessibility, inclusive design, and community-centered technology development. His research bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications to create more equitable technology experiences for marginalized communities. Montague completed his PhD at the University of Dundee in 2013 with research on 'SUM: an exploration of Shared User Models and interface adaptations to improve accessibility of mobile touchscreen interactions.' His academic trajectory shows a clear evolution from foundational work on accessibility technologies to more recent explorations of feminist ethics in community-based design. His research interests span multiple critical areas in contemporary HCI: developing accessible mobile interfaces for blind and visually impaired users, creating tools for citizen-led personalization of user interfaces, exploring digital civics and community engagement through technology, and investigating ethical frameworks for community-led design. Montague's work consistently emphasizes participatory approaches, centering marginalized communities in the design process to create technologies that truly serve their needs. An analysis of his recent publications reveals an evolving research trajectory from technical accessibility solutions toward more socially conscious design frameworks. While early work focused on practical accessibility tools (like non-visual text entry methods), his recent research engages with feminist care ethics, digital citizenship, and community-led technology development. This evolution reflects a growing emphasis on ethical considerations and social justice in HCI research, with increasing attention to AI's role in community engagement and ethical design practices. Montague has established significant collaborations with researchers across institutions, particularly with Hugo Nicolau, Tiago João Vieira Guerreiro, and Reem Talhouk. His work appears consistently in top-tier venues including CHI, ASSETS, and CSCW, demonstrating recognition by the HCI community for both technical innovation and socially impactful research. His lab at Newcastle University focuses on developing practical tools for community engagement while advancing theoretical frameworks for ethical technology design. Current projects include AI-generated tools for academic conferences, frameworks for feminist community-led ethics, and platforms for citizen-led interface personalization, all reflecting his commitment to democratizing technology development and ensuring it serves diverse community needs.
