My research lies in the area of assistive technologies and co-design. I have a background in Computer Science and I am currently completing my PhD at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. My thesis contributes to the field of Human-Computer Interaction by investigating whether a user-centered designed mobile phone application is a suitable technology to assist people suffering from
