Biography
I am a Research Associate studying the intersection of design, ethics, and autonomous technologies. My work combines analytic creativity, critical feminist perspectives, and qualitative research methods to construct new ways of understanding our relationships with intelligent technologies and how we can reimagine the ways that humans and technologies share our world.
I currently work on the World Leading Turing AI Fellowship: Somabotics: Creatively Embodying AI. As people increasingly engage in physical and intimate contact with intelligent machines, the Fellowship explores how artist-driven aesthetic experiences can generate new meanings and interactions between people and machines. We draw on the expertise of artists to deliver creative applications of emerging technologies, surface new design concepts and methods, engage the public with societal challenges, and deliver impact to the creative industries.
My PhD research focuses on the felt and embodied practice of ethics within soma design, research through design and performance-led research approaches, as well as physical or proximate interactions with autonomous technologies such as machines, robots and aerial drones. During my PhD, I have developed theoretical tools and concepts for the qualitative analysis of ethical practice, and authored award-winning research papers for top-tier human-computer interaction venues such as ACM CHI and DIS.
