Research

My practice-based research focuses on how body-centric technologies, particularly mobile technologies, can be used to create immersive and interactive works that place the audience member at the centre of the experience.  

My PhD focused on how mobile digital technologies can be used to tap into and transform audience members' sensory, embodied experiences in ways that engender empathy and critical reflection.
