Interaction. Power. Robots.
I am fascinated by the power of, and embedded in, interaction design. My work has a strong practical focus towards understanding this power (both the good and the bad) in order to ensure we are developing socially sustainable human-machine interactions (and/or the machine-mediated human-human interactions these often actually represent) that support human flourishing. I see my work as contributing to the tangible application and realisation of initiatives like the European Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI.

My work is very interdisciplinary, drawing from design, psychology and the social sciences as well as computer science and engineering. My research interests include participatory design and automation (i.e. human-in-the-loop machine learning, interactive machine learning), social influence, norms and behaviour and applied robot ethics; contributing new ways of *doing* human-robot interaction in addition to the design and evaluation of specific interaction strategies in real-world application domains.
