I am a Senior Lecturer and the BSc Games Design Programme Leader at Manchester Metropolitan University with research interests in the combination of game experiences with the sensor technology and the Internet of Things.
My research background includes developing simulations for raising awareness and measuring student engagement at the university level of study through a Serious Game that embedded the Internet of Things. My PhD produced a development framework, allowing technology for good to develop projects that combine Serious Games and the Internet of Things. Current research projects are investigating the use of Serious Games for mental wellbeing and the use of wearable technology as game input.
