I am a designer and human-computer interaction (HCI) researcher. The work I do is interdisciplinary cutting across psychology, information science, interaction design, education and technology studies. Before entering academia, I worked in industry as a visual and interaction designer. I have a PhD in HCI/Computer-mediated Communication from Imperial College London. My research was funded by the EU network of excellence, Humaine. I have a MSc in HCI and BFA in interactive media. Between 2009-2011 I was a post-doctoral researcher for the EPSRC project Privacy Value Networks at the School of Management of the University of Bath working on privacy, trust and identity. In 2011, I moved to the University of Birmingham’s HCI Centre in Computer Science as a Tenure-Track Research Fellow/Lecturer. In 2013, I joined the UCL Knowledge Lab at the UCL Institute of Education where I am a senior lecturer.


My research interests are oriented by a value-sensitive approach to technology. I work at the intersection of social science and interaction design using insights from one to inform the other. For more information on my research, please visit my personal website @luminainteractive.com
