Amid Ayobi

Brief biography
Dr Amid Ayobi is a Lecturer in Digital Health in the Department of Computer Science at University College London and is part of the UCL Interaction Centre. His research aims to inform the design of agency supportive digital health technologies.
He completed his PhD studies at UCLIC focusing on self-tracking practices by people living with multiple sclerosis. He investigated the digital mental health experiences of people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and health risk prediction needs of young adults living with diabetes as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bristol. Prior to rejoining UCLIC, he gained HCI expertise working as a lecturer at Cardiff University and R&D labs at IBM, SAP, and Microsoft.
