Personal profile
Research interests
I currently work on behavioural science projects and evaluations for the Blood Safety, Hepatitis, STIs and HIV Division. In my previous role I specialised in user experience research with older adults, with a particular focus on apps designed to improve wellbeing and reduce loneliness. I obtained funding from the UKRI to produce rapid research and interventions for loneliness during the COVID19 pandemic.
