Research

I am currently studying for a PhD in Engineering Design at Cambridge University (UK). I am based in the Engineering Design Centre (EDC) of the Engineering Department, working in the area of Inclusive Design. My project specifically deals with testing how measures of human sensory, cognitive and motor capability can predict the accessibility of consumer products when used by people with disabilities.

Further information (including publications) can be found on my engineering department web page and also on the iDesign project website. Below is a list of my publications to date.
