Lecturer · Principal Supervisor · Human-Computer Interaction Researcher
Based in Melbourne, I work across HCI, responsible computing, online safety, and inclusive design, with teaching and supervision spanning New Zealand and Australia.
Profile Snapshot
A homepage summary built from the current CV, reflecting present appointments, supervision, and the shift toward responsible computing and online safety research.
Why it matters
The CV shows a clear through-line: digital systems often fail the people who were not consulted in their design. That concern now anchors both the research programme and supervision practice.
Research Profile
The current CV highlights a research profile built around HCI, inclusive design, responsible computing, and the practical translation of participatory research into usable recommendations.
Research grounded in the idea that digital systems often fail people who were not consulted in their design, especially multilingual users, CALD communities, older adults, and other excluded groups.
More than twelve years of tertiary teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate IT, IS, UX, and research-focused courses in New Zealand and Australia.
A growing research programme focused on dark patterns, deceptive design, trust, social commerce harms, AI-powered systems, and technology-facilitated manipulation.
Principal supervision and Master's research mentoring from topic development and ethics approval through to thesis completion and publication-oriented academic writing.
Current Themes

About
I am an HCI researcher and academic with more than twelve years of tertiary teaching experience across New Zealand and Australia. My work is grounded in a practical concern: digital systems consistently fail the people who were not consulted in their design.
My research spans Arabic-speaking users, women and gender-diverse users, older adults, CALD communities, international students, and people navigating complex digital systems in a second or third language. More recently, that work has moved into responsible computing, online safety, dark patterns, trust, and harm in social commerce platforms.
Background
Supervising Master's students across all stages from topic development and ethics approval through to thesis completion. Currently directing projects in online safety and responsible computing.
Contributed to programme review and quality assurance aligned with NZQA standards. Mentored early-career academics in research design, ethics, publication, and applied research project development.
Designed and coordinated undergraduate and postgraduate IS and IT courses, supervised Master's theses, and supported diverse domestic and international student cohorts.
Taught undergraduate information systems courses, supervised final-year projects, developed learning resources, and completed programme moderation work.
Delivered undergraduate and postgraduate IT and IS courses, led large UCD papers including cohorts up to 220 students, and supervised Master's theses and industry capstones.
Taught undergraduate IT courses, supervised student projects, and managed registration and enrolment for more than 5,000 students annually.
Specialisation in Human-Computer Interaction, user-centred computing, and ethical technology practice.
Focus on Information Systems, software development, and project management.
Foundational study in computing and information systems.
