Hello!

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University College London, where I am part of the UCL Interaction Centre.

My research focuses on understanding human behaviour and preferences through methods such as crowdsourcing, ubiquitous sensing, or self-report – please see my publication overview for more details. I have a background in Computer Science and Interaction Design, and have been involved in the design and development of a wide variety of projects.
