Research
I do research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and design which can be roughly split into two groups:
- Digital Health - participatory digital health; digital mental health; AI for health
- Improving Design - design for wellbeing and digital wellbeing; design for autonomy; design for relatedness; front-end design ethics; design strategies and methods

Note to prospective PhD students: The Centre I work at, The Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, will be accepting our first PhD applications in August 2026. Check the CFI website for information on how to apply to do a PhD at the Centre and select me in the form as a preferred supervisor if your interest aligns with my research.
