 My work focuses on social computing, particularly the design of sociotechnical systems that are used by groups of people. I'm fascinated by the way that users adapt and improvise their use of systems to hit their needs, but believe we can do better in designing technologies that suit people's and society's needs. Because of this, much of my research concerns the co-creation of technology with end users, followed by field deployment and user testing. My work falls broadly into three different domains, healthcare, smartsissies and education. Whether it's designing technologies for older adults to log their moods, like some of these examples here, or developing social innovation programs in the context of smartsissies, what motivates me is an understanding that in addition to shaping the academic discourse, I'm also having an impact in the world. Because of this, I'm deeply grateful to have an amazing set of collaborators, including Community Action Milton Keynes, HUK, Milton Keynes University Hospital and Dyslexia Action. In addition to knowing that together we achieve more than we could have passed, I'm also particularly proud when I can see how my research has had an impact on people's lives.
