About me

I'm a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the School of Computer Science & Informatics at Cardiff University working on human computer interaction (HCI) and multisensory perception in virtual and mixed reality with the Human Centred Computing group. You can see my published work here. I earned my EngD in Digital Media from Bath, and before this, my BSc in Computer Science from UCD. If you are interested in doing a PhD, MRes, or other postgraduate research degree with me, please read this page.

I'm co-director of Echo Games, a community interest company (not-for-profit) developing games and experiences with an emphasis on social change I founded with Daniela De Angeli and Lee Scott. We're always looking for new clients keen on exploring how games can be used to engage audiences beyond entertainment. From 2023 to 2025 I was on the board of ProMo Cymru, a Wales' based charity whose mission is to engage young people and communities through social action and partnerships to build a more connected, informed, and included Wales. They're doing great work in digital media and communications; please check them out.

You can contact me by sending me a message on most social media channels by using the links to the right.

Here's a video reel of recent projects I've supervised/led which you may find interesting/useful to learn more about the kinds of things I do.
