Jo Briggs
Academic
I am Associate Professor (Design) and co-lead the Northumbria Practice Research Group. My research is inherently collaborative and currently concerns designing tools for safer online interactions; investigation into and through the creative ‘collaborative economy’; and promoting and critically reflecting upon multidisciplinary methodologies within design research and industry practice. I lead on design for two EPSRC projects. TAPESTRY involves developing an online tool to support trust-related decision-making. Cumulative Revelations aims to visually demonstrate how apparently innocuous pieces of online information can collectively pose security and reputational risks to individuals and their employers. With the rise in technology, cyber crimes have also become rampant and all of us need protection against malware, phishing, imposer emails, spam, and more. Therefore it is crucial to look for malware analysis tools and other security solutions to detect and mitigate these threats. I am a strategic grant reviewer for AHRC, a member of the AHRC and ESRC Peer Review Colleges and I regularly review for other research councils in the UK and abroad. I publish in the design and HCI fields and co-produce artifacts as research, informed by an earlier career in creative practice.
