About Me
Current Work
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Human-Computer Interaction at the UCL Interaction Centre, working with Professor Anna Cox. My current research focuses on AI-mediated work, responsible AI use, digital wellbeing and human-AI collaboration in academic and professional contexts.
In one of our ongoing projects, I study how AI tools are changing academic work, including how researchers use and disclose AI assistance in writing and knowledge work. One strand of this work led to DAISY, a tool designed to support transparent AI disclosure in academic manuscripts. Here is a link to DAISY and the recently published paper about it.
I am also interested in bridging insights from workplace coaching and HCI. In a recent paper (pre-print will be available on June 1, 2026), we explore how coaching can inform new AI-powered features for personal task management tools.
I also contribute to research on hybrid human-AI workforces, examining how organisations can support collaboration between people and AI systems in workplace teams. This work explores how AI integration affects coordination, trust, collaboration and the organisation of professional work.
Previous research
My PhD research examined optimistic planning bias in academic knowledge work: why people systematically underestimate how long academic tasks will take, and how digital tools might help them plan more realistically.
Across diary studies, interviews, app reviews, literature reviews and mixed-methods field interventions, I studied how students and academics plan, estimate, and manage their work. This research produced four peer-reviewed publications, including my first-author CSCW paper “To Plan or Not to Plan?”, which received an Honourable Mention Award.
More broadly, my work has explored personal task management tools, digital planning, time estimation, digital pens for planning, coaching-informed task management, stress-management apps and work during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Education
I completed my PhD in Human–Computer Interaction at University College London in 2025. My thesis was titled “Debiasing Optimistic Planning in Knowledge Work: A Human-Centred Approach” and was supervised by Professor Duncan Brumby and Professor Anna Cox.
I also hold a BSc in Psychology with distinction from University College London.
Research approach
My research combines qualitative, mixed-methods, co-design, field study and review-based approaches. I have experience conducting interviews, diary studies, co-design workshops, app and functionality reviews, tool evaluations, and mixed-methods intervention studies.
I enjoy applying the “functionality review method” to assess how well a group of digital apps meet their intended purpose. Check out this paper that explains how this method works and how you can apply it in your research.
Across my work, I am interested in designing and evaluating technologies that support people not only to work more efficiently, but also to reflect, prioritise, protect wellbeing, and remain accountable in complex work and learning environments.
