Lenia Margariti
Research Associate
I am a postdoctoral researcher in TORUS programme. My research interests lie in Human-Building-Interaction, Human-Centred Smart Buildings and IoT for health and wellbeing. My work is primarily design-led, exploring how technologies and interfaces can support health and wellbeing in data-rich environments.
I have experience working with sensory data; mixed methods of data analysis; and strong skills in digital and physical prototyping. In the past, I have worked as a user experience researcher in Microsoft Research, Digital Transformation Analyst, Visual Designer, and Architectural Designer.
I hold a PhD in Human Computer Interaction, MSc Architecture, and SCQF8 in Software Design and Development.
