Personal profile

Research interests

I am an interdisciplinary researcher and primarily conduct work that combines computer science and psychology. My research aims to understand how people behave, and how/why their behaviour changes when interacting with some form of technology (such as the internet, social media, digital devices). In my work, I use digital data to measure psychological phenomena, in attempt to advance both theoretical understanding and practical applications. I also have a broad interest in developing and applying metascientific methods to enhance scientific integrity across different disciplines, particularly those using digital data and computational approaches. My work has been published in world-leading journals including Psychological Bulletin, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and Current Directions in Psychological Science.

I am co-PI of the “Science of Sentiment Analysis” grant and have led other funded projects on developing metascientific methods to improve the design of personality computing studies, and using digital devices (Adafruit Circuit Playgrounds) to improve people’s security behaviour in their workplaces (see: Gentle Interventions For Security). Since 2016, I have been affiliated with the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats, first as a Research Associate, then as a Co-I on the “Risk and Online Behaviour” programme. My research has been funded by the ESRC, Research England, and the UK Government.
