Overview
My research interests concern how we interact with technology, what this reveals about our behaviour and personality, and how to apply Artificial Intelligence for social benefit. I am the Director of the Centre for Social Care and Artificial intelligence Learning (SCALE), an interdisciplinary project aiming to use AI to transform social care in the UK.
