Research in emerging socio-technologies and industrial collaborations My research projects involve the design and evaluation of user experience in emerging online domains: e-commerce, e-health, social software such as blogs, wikis and social networking tools, e-government, and three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds. The research outcomes of my projects have been - evidence-based methodologies, frameworks, models, guidelines, and novel toolkits - which inform the design and evaluation of the overall user experience. Stakeholders, including designers, researchers, students, educators, policy makers, and marketing specialists have adopted the evidence-based outcomes of my research in their practice and policy-making. My research is inherently inter-disciplinary: it builds on the synergies of the multiple intellectual cultures I have integrated, and the heterogeneity of funding, approaches, and communities this has engaged. Starting from the empirically-grounded human-centred design principles of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), I have adapted theory and methods from design, services marketing, psychology and sociology to bring different perspectives together to formulate the underpinning theory/methodology in my research projects.
