When it comes to research, I’m interested in taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture, in understanding the context and systems that surround human experience, and in making connections between disciplines.

Working across the Human Computer Interaction, Psychology and Art domains, I try to remain critically aware of established norms and paradigms. I recognize the stunning complexity of human beings and am conscious of the value and ethical implications of any research conducted on human emotion, thought or behaviour.

PhD

I am currently doing an employment-based PhD with SilverCloud Health (now Amwell) and Trinity College Dublin, exploring how people become ready or motivated to engage with digital mental health support. This project is co-funded by the Irish Research Council.
