- "This research built the first food delivery system using acoustic levitation. It won the best audience demo award at a leading HCI conference, and was featured in the news world-wide, including on BBC Radio Sussex, BBC Click, iTV [1], IEEE Spectrum [2], and The Times [3]. The work led to a follow-up implementation and journal publication [4], extending the system towards multisensory integration. We also developed a levitated Coke proof-of-concept and presented the work to leading food and fragrance companies in Atlanta and New York. Field-weighted citation impact 7.14 (Scopus).
