Biography

Stephanie is Assistant Dean (Research Students) with strategic responsibility for research student recruitment, progression and experience in the School of Informatics. She is also a Senior Lecturer and Research Tutor in the Centre for HCI Design and currently teaches modules on Interaction Design and Usability Evaluation to postgraduate students.

Stephanie's research includes modelling and interaction design for healthcare environments, creative and inclusive interaction design, usability evaluation and technology enhanced learning. She is principal investigator for GReAT, an exciting new research project that is investigating how everyday motion sensing and detection technologies can be exploited to create a gesture therapy tool for people with aphasia. This continues 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. Ghandi investigated clinical handover from both theoretical and practical perspectives and developed the PaperChain system to support handover in an ambulance transport service.

Stephanie is first supervisor for Makayla Lewis's PhD on the impact of technological change on people with Cerebral Palsy, Deirdre Devers' PhD on surveillance and situation awareness in digital gaming environments, Daniel Holliday's PhD on adaptive interfaces to enhance accessibility for older users and Milena Markova's PhD on tangible interfaces for learning. She is second supervisor for two research students:Jacques Chueke and Susanne Karsten. Recently completed PhD students include Ulrike Pfeil, Areej Al-Wabil, Valentina Lichtner and Chee Siang Ang.
