I am interested in the way we transcribe data and how different strategies have an effect on performance and errors we make whilst doing this task. In particular, I am interested how people self-interrupt work to look up task-relevant information. These interruptions, though necessary to complete the task, can be disruptive and people can get diverted by distractions, losing focus on their work. I am exploring design interventions to help people be more aware of their behaviour and adopt better data entry strategies.
Brief biography
I have done my BSc at the University of Amsterdam in Information Science, and my MSc at the University of York in Human Centred Interactive Technologies.
