I am a Professor in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne where I currently co-lead the Human-Computer Interaction Group. My research examines the psychological and social dimensions of new digital technologies through design-based investigations in collaboration with organisations and communities. Current and recent projects explore the nature of AI-based deception, people's use of technologies to manage their emotions, the creation and sharing of public histories online, and the design of technologies for health-related change. .
