My research focuses on the real-world use of data-driven technologies to encourage healthy behaviours and is built on strong industry and academic collaborations.
I have recently submitted my PhD thesis at UCL, which is entitled "The Self-Tracker's Journey: situated engagement and non-engagement with personal informatics systems over time". This work focused on the long-term lived experience of using technologies to track and encourage physical activity in healthy adults.
I am currently working as a Senior Research Associate in the Design School at Northumbria University, where I am focusing on solutions to the problem of fatigue in healthcare professionals. I have previously worked in the same institute on a project focused on the wellbeing of postgraduate students, and before that working on various health-related projects at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.
