Biography

Stephanie is a Reader in the Centre for HCI Design. She teaches modules on Interaction Design and Usability Evaluation to postgraduate students. Her research includes modelling and interaction design for healthcare environments, creative and inclusive interaction design, usability evaluation and technology enhanced learning. She was principal investigator for GReAT, an interdisciplinary project that developed an innovative gesture therapy tool for people with aphasia, employing a participatory design approach, and then tested the tool in an 8 month field study. This continued a theme of investigating innovative, sensitive and light-weight interaction design for challenging healthcare-related situations. She previously led Ghandi, a 3 year EPSRC-funded project that investigated clinical handover and developed the PaperChain system to support handover in an ambulance transport service. She is currently co-investigator on the new EVA project which is exploring the use of virtual worlds in aphasia therapy. Stephanie is also an Assistant Dean with responsibility for research students in the School of Informatics. Her remit includes strategic responsibility for recruitment, progression and student experience. She led the successful Periodic Review of research degrees in 2012.
