I’ve designed technology research at BBC R&D, mentored developers in collaboration with Snap Inc and directed shows at the Barbican and Bush Theatre.
My research and creative practices explore structure in interpersonal connection and expressivity, particularly through performance.
In research, I develop methodologies for the systematic and computational analysis of performers’ craft. As a director and dramaturg, I focus on creating spaces for audience connection, whether in 3D space or augmented reality.
My academic research has been published in Nature Scientific Reports, ACM CHI and PNAS Nexus. I’ve presented at venues including the European Society for Cardiology, ACM conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, the Laughter Workshop, the European Research Music Conference, and the London Hopper Colloquium, where I was awarded second prize in the spotlight competition.
I completed a PhD in Media and Arts Technology, following a BSc in Psychology at McGill University and an MA in Theatre Directing from the University of East Anglia. I was recognised for Outstanding Contribution to the Media and Arts Technology Programme for organising the 2017 interdisciplinary workshop, Intersections. I speak English and French, with a good understanding of Spanish and Turkish.
Whatever domain I’m working in, I delight in unpicking technical, creative and interpersonal knots.
