I teach and research at the University of Melbourne on technology, health and emotion.
I hold degrees in Computer Science (BSc, Qld), Cognitive Science (MSc, Melb) and Human-Computer Interaction (PhD, Melb), and have a Graduate Certificate in University Teaching (Melb).
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.
Emotion and its Regulation
I study how people use technology to manage their emotions, informed by psychological research on emotion regulation.
Human-Computer Interaction
I employ user-centred design and evaluation techniques to support projects ranging from Indigenous-led technology to climate change mitigation.
Avatars and Virtual Worlds
My PhD examined how people communicate and collaborate in virtual space and included research on avatar psychology conducted at PARC .
