RESEARCH
My research career began with a focus on immersive technologies and AI-driven sensing, particularly in accessibility design for older users and people with disabilities. This foundation led me to apply these skills in healthcare, collaborating with NHS Trusts, local councils, and various stakeholders to tackle health inequalities and enhance care delivery.
My research is widely recognised, with publications in top venues like ACM CHI, Ubicomp, Science Advances, and Nature Machine Intelligence. I have secured over £20 million in funding as PI and CoI from EPSRC, ESRC, EU, NIHR, InnovateUK, and industry partners. My work has received international media coverage from outlets such as the BBC, Forbes, The Telegraph, NBC News, CBS4 News and Reuters TV (300,000+ views).
Looking ahead, I aim to advance AI-driven virtual human technology in clinical settings. My research has already shown that conversational AI and virtual assistants can meaningfully support neurodivergent individuals, those with early-stage dementia, and people experiencing grief.
I have written more than 100 scientific contributions. According to Google Scholar (see https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=s8WXADEAAAAJ&hl=en), I have more than 7,000 citations and an h-index of 43.
