Brief biography

I am a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Duncan Brumby and Prof Anna Cox. My research explores the challenges implicated in planning knowledge work. My main interest is enabling individuals to excel at both their careers and personal lives in the age of technology. I am interested in using a variety of methods ranging from more traditional qualitative and correlational methods to more novel data-instense techniques. I am also the Demonstrator for the MSc in Human- Computer Interaction at UCL. This role involves supporting teaching activities, supervising and mentoring students, and marking assignments and dissertations.

Prior to coming to UCLIC, I graduated the BSc Psychology at UCL with a distinction. During that time, I conducted my dissertation project and an internship at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscince with Prof Patrick Haggard. I also consulted for UCL on digitalizing doctoral-level education, again with Prof Haggard.
