Aaron Mc Evoy is a second year PhD researcher in Extended reality and Multimodal Sensor telerehabilitation systems at the Technological University of the Shannon in Athlone Co. Westmeath Ireland. His research focuses on sensor driven XR telerehabilitation for upper limb nerve injuries, with a particular emphasis on wearable systems that combine flex sensors, inertial measurement units, electromyography and photoplethysmography to support remote clinical assessment and rehabilitation. He is currently developing an XR glove platform for monitoring ulnar nerve palsy recovery that integrates real time sensing, interactive exercises and a web-based dashboard for clinicians and is investigating how Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics relate to patient Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes in telerehabilitation settings.

Daniel Hewitt is a PhD researcher in XR accessibility and multisensory media at Technological University of the Shannon. His research focuses on improving access to immersive experiences for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) users through haptic-based representations of sound and music. Working at the intersection of extended reality, haptic interaction, and multisensory communication, his work explores how musical rhythm, structure, and emotional content can be translated into meaningful vibrotactile feedback. His core project, Haptic Symphony, investigates accessible VR concert experiences using Unreal Engine, Meta XR, and bHaptics devices, contributing to emerging Quality of Experience frameworks and inclusive design practices for multisensory XR performance and entertainment.

Anna Ferrarotti is a PhD researcher in Applied Electronics at Roma Tre University (Rome, Italy). Her research lies at the intersection of immersive media, human–computer interaction and multimedia systems, with a focus on Quality of Experience (QoE) evaluation for XR environments, immersive stress-related assessment and user-centric multimedia processing. She has contributed to experimental studies on perceptual factors, multimodal interaction and immersion in augmented and virtual reality, and has participated in international projects investigating networked XR systems for tele-rehabilitation over 5G. As a co-organiser of SenseXR 2026, she brings expertise in XR user studies, evaluation methodologies and interdisciplinary collaboration across academia, healthcare and industry.

Sara Baldoni is Assistant Professor at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua from March 2023. She received her Master degree in Information and Communication Technology Engineering from Roma Tre University in 2018. Moreover, she received her PhD in Applied Electronics from Roma Tre University in 2022 and worked as post-doc researcher at Roma Tre University until 2023. Her main research interests are in the area of multimedia signal processing, quality of experience, and immersive technologies. She has served as Associate Editor for ELSEVIER Displays Journal and is Area Editor for ELSEVIER Signal Processing: Image Communication. She has been involved in the organizing committee of different conferences and workshops such as QoMEX 2025 and 2026, ACM IMX 2026, and MMVE 2025. In addition, she is a member of the EURASIP Technical Area Committee on Visual Information Processing.

Deniz Mevlevioğlu is a lecturer and researcher in Computer Science at University College Cork, with expertise in extended reality (XR), physiological sensing, and machine learning. Their research focusses on real-time affect and anxiety detection using on-body biosensors (e.g., skin conductance and heart rate) to enable adaptive and personalised XR experiences, particularly in mental health and wellbeing contexts.

Marco Carli is Full Professor with the Department of Industrial, Electronic, and Mechanical Engineering at the Università degli Studi ‘Roma TRE’, Roma, Italy. He received the Laurea degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the Università degli Studi di Roma ‘La Sapienza’, Roma, Italy, and the Ph.D. degree from Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland. He was a Visiting Researcher with the Image Processing Laboratory, directed by prof. S.Mitra, UCSB, University of California, Santa Barbara, California, USA (2000-2004). His research interests are in the area of digital signal and image processing with applications to multimedia communications. Specifically, he has been working on digital watermarking, multimedia quality evaluation, information security.
