About Me

I am a Senior Lecturer and ARC Future Fellow in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne. I am a member of the Interaction Design Lab, working in the field of human-computer interaction. My research is broadly concerned with understanding the role technologies play in people's learning, work, and social activities. My recent work has focused on:
  • Emerging technologies for enrichment in old age
  • The design and use of social technologies for older adults
  • Technologies for personal health and wellbeing 
  • Ethics of emerging technologies
  • Ethical issues in HCI research in sensitive settings
  • Understanding the impact of social technologies on teaching and learning practices in higher education.
