BIO

My research investigates the interplay between wellbeing and technology, including how technology might be used to improve the lives of people with serious mental illness and how the design of technology impacts on critical factors related to mental health such as sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms. This work brings together cutting edge behaviour sensing, interaction design and machine learning to address serious challenges in mental health.

 

I have received over 10 million euro in research grant funding including from the European Union, National Institutes of Health (USA) and Medical Resarch Council (UK), and have raised over 30 million euro in venture funding to date.
