Person profile
I'm a Human-Computer Interaction researcher, with my main interests revolving around User Experience and Games. While these areas are largely preoccupied with interactions that are engaging in the moment, my work investigates how technology can give rise to meaningful and aesthetic experiences that endure beyond interaction. My main publication venues are CHI and CHI PLAY.
Person profile
What is meaningful interaction? How does technology use impact wellbeing? To answer these questions I research motivational and emotional aspects of the User Experience and Digital Games. I am also interested in methodology and meta-science, especially with regards to developing new evaluation tools, mixed-methods and the role of psychological theories in informing Human-Computer Interaction.
