I am a post-doc researcher in the field of HCI, currently based with the Socio-Digital Systems group at Microsoft Research in Cambridge. See my up-to-date webpage at Microsoft for information on my most recent activities.
This website details the work that I published during my PhD at the University of York and while working as a lecturer at UCLIC. My PhD explored how the affordances of technologies affect the social interaction of collocated groups, an interest that I built open further while at UCLIC. Since working at Microsoft, I have studied the use of various communication appliances by families and focused on designing technology to fit the needs and values of older adults.
