My research lies at the intersection of Humanitarian Innovation, Human-Computer Interaction and Design. I have conducted research in relation to improving health, food security, everyday security and community resilience in humanitarian and migration contexts (Middle East, Europe and Australia). I have also explored the use of varying design approaches when designing technologies with refugees.
