I am a Lecturer in the School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape. My research explores how technology can create the means for an open dialogue around place, and how through these technologies, more meaningful discussions can happen about the future of cities.

My research sits at the intersection of digital technology, design, human–computer interaction and urban planning, with a focus on alternative and enhanced tools and methods for participation in planning. These tools and methods include pervasive and wearable computing systems, alongside audio, visual and social media in novel interactive systems. Through this I explore how technologies can be designed, developed and evaluated within real world settings, with the aim of understanding the implications of these for citizen engagement and planning practice.
