Their research focus is interdisciplinary examining the public dimensions of science and technology from sociological, historical, cultural and policy-related perspectives. Past work has largely focused on the public understanding of science, science communication, public engagement with science and technology across a wide range of cultural and policy settings. 

More recent work considers the broader cultural dimensions of science, technology and medicine and social justice and inclusive science communication and engagement. In particular, they are currently developing work within the nascent field of ‘Queer STS’ which aims to unpick the heteronormative, gendered and racialised architectures within and around cultures of science and knowledge production and also engaging in research which brings social justice and queer critiques to science communication and engagement.

Current research projects include an investigation of LGBTQ+ staff experiences of academic spaces, a project on heteronormativity in STEMM and projects on inclusive science communication. They are also  working on an EDI funded project conducting focus groups with students from marginalised and minoritised groups in STEMM. 

Past funded research projects include INGRAINED an RCUK grant (held jointly between STS, OVPR and the Public Engagement Unit) which explored how to widen decision-making on research strategies within UCL beyond traditional experts. An ESRC funded project on public consultation, knowledge and nationally significant infrastructure climate change projects. They have also worked on projects concerned with public engagement with science and technology for the Royal Society, the RSA and the Government Office of Science and has worked for the Wellcome Trust on researcher attitudes to public engagement.
