PhD students

I am keen to supervise doctoral students in areas related to my research interests and publications. I am actively advertising for students for selection by our School’s 2022/23 PhD scholarship programme. Please see my information about doctoral studies for details.

Research

Research keywords: Work, remote work, telemetry, crowdsourcing, multitasking, interruptions, citizen science, data collection, work surveillance

My research is generally focused on work and technology. I try to answer questions like:

• How do people make decisions about how to allocate their attention at work?
• How are people’s activities at work monitored using technology?
• How do people fit work into the rest of their lives?

I am currently participating in a workplace surveillance project with colleagues at Bristol and Northumbria.

I also have a broader interest in people interactions with technologies, having also published on people’s use of emoji, their use of conversational user interfaces, and the ways in which they consume video media.
