Overview
Research

I am a computer science graduate currently engaged in interdisciplinary research within the School of Geography. My work spans the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human Geography, and Architecture.

My primary research focuses on involving young people in sustainability initiatives and co-designing with primary school children. With a background in working with youth and designing user-centric applications, I aim to foster environmental awareness and active participation among the younger generation in tackling the climate crisis.

Thesis

Co-designing a Digital Platform for Sustainable Energy use in Schools

Buildings contribute 40% of global carbon emissions. Engaging users in addressing climate change is essential to achieving sustainability goals. By collaborating with an interdisciplinary team, I am designing and deploying a digital platform that enables children to engage with their school environment and actively participate in data collection and sustainability education.
