My research concerns Technology Futures, focusing on interdisciplinary design-computing research in designing digital cultures for preferable futures. This involves exploring speculative design for equity in emerging technologies for all abilities, which requires understanding digital materiality, resistance to digitisation and cyborg post-humanism.

My expertise in interdisciplinarity comes from nearly two decade’s experience with inter- and multi-disciplinary research. Specifically, between computing research with first natural sciences, then social sciences, followed by business research, and most recently design research.
