Personal profile

Biography

I’m a Lecturer in University College Cork's School of Applied Psychology, and my main interests are in the intersection of health and politics in the design of digital health technologies in sensitive settings. I’ve been working in Human-Computer Interaction since my PhD (awarded by UCC in 2017), where I worked within under-resourced nursing homes in the south of Ireland to explore the potential for digital interactions to create opportunities for social connection for people with moderate to late stage dementia. Following a one-year Research Associate position on the EPSRC-funded MyPlace project at Newcastle University, I was awarded a career fellowship in Open Lab in 2017, where I led the Digital Social Care research theme. In September 2019, I took up a position in UL’s School of Design where I worked for 4+ years on Design for Health & Wellbeing. In January 2024, I began my current post in UCC's School of Applied Psychology. I have been awarded (as PI and Co-I) over €1.5 million in funding from sources such as EPSRC, SFI-IRC, IRC, GCRF, the Utrecht Network, and more. My current work focuses on women's health, reproductive health, and experiences of embodiment in technology design and use.
