Career

See my Google Scholar profile.

In September 2024 I joined the Department of Computer Science as a lecturer, specialising in Human-Computer Interaction.

I was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, working on multiple projects investigating how to deliver climate and weather information to different users in East Africa.

I gained my doctorate in HCI at University College London, focusing on emergent video consumption behaviours. This included a placement as a research assistant a the Interactive Technologies Institute in Madeira, Portugal. Before that I completed an MSc by research and BSc in computer science at the University of Durham.
