Research

I work to design, build and evaluate technologies that support mental health and well-being. I obtained my BSc in Computer Science from the University of Queensland in 1986 and held a number of technology positions in industry before obtaining my MSc in Cognitive Science at the University of Melbourne in 1992. I joined the academic staff in 2001. My PhD is in Human-Computer Interaction. I am currently working on projects with researchers at the University of Melbourne, Orygen Youth Health, Australian Catholic University, and the Royal Childrens Hospital including:

  • online therapy for youth psychosis
  • connecting hospitalised children to their school and family
  • preventing relapse of major depressive disorder

My PhD examined the impact of voice communication on how people experience large, international online virtual worlds.

In 2008 I was a visiting researcher at PARC, California, where I studied collaboration around objects in online environments.

I am a member of SIGCHI.

Teaching

Since 2001 I have taught a range of subjects within the University of Melbourne's Bachelor of Information Systems degree and Informatics Major. Please see my teaching page for details. In 2013 I am taking some lectures on the domestication of technology for ISYS 90032 'Emerging Technologies and Issues'.
