Digital Health

Based in the Human-Computer Interaction group, I collaborate with health researchers and practioners to design and evaluate interventions for a range of physical and psychosocial health conditions.

Human-Computer Interaction

I employ user-centred design and evaluation techniques to support projects ranging from Indigenous-led technology to climate change mitigation.

Emotion and its Regulation

I study how people use technology to manage their emotions, informed by psychology research on emotion regulation as well as research on the social and cultural influence of pharmaceutical tools.

Virtual Worlds

My PhD examined how people communicate and collaborate in online virtual worlds.
