I am a final-year PhD student researcher experimenting with technologies and ethical issues that may help, manage, and/or alleviate the impacts of sensory sensitivity, distraction, and mental health on autistic adults' activities in mainstream environments including higher education, employment, and social contexts.    

As a parent of a young autistic adult, my twenty years of personal experience and advocacy provide me with a decidedly unique and inclusive perspective.  I am grateful to be the recipient of the PPI INNOVATION GRANT from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in conjunction with a partnership between UCL, University College London Hospitals Biomedical Research Centre and the NHS Foundation Trust (reference: BRC743/DR/104990) for Patient Public Information on Adaptive Wearable Appropriateness as an Autistic Accommodation Project.

I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Manufactures, a Fellow of UCL's Institute of Healthcare Engineering, an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a lab member of UCL's Institute of Education Knowledge Lab, UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience Development Diversity Lab, and Cambridge University's Centre for Attention Learning and Memory Lab (Holmes Lab) and Cognitive and Brain Sciences Unit.
