My research is focused on the design, use and evaluation of information and communications technologies. Taking a human-centred perspective I'm interested in exploring how novel interactive and communicative artefacts can be designed to support human activities. Often my work considers technology use in collaborative settings both work-based and domestic.
More specifically, I have previously researched in the areas of video-based communication, tangible user interfaces and media management and archiving in the home.
Recently however, my work has begun to focus on issues to do with the concept of 'Technology Heirlooms'. I am exploring the relationships between people and sentimental artefacts, considering the ways in which digital technologies might come to be both meaningful artefacts and inheritable items, and examining the social relationships that surround such technologies.
