Biography
Tracey joined the Centre for HCI Design in October 2012 after completing a MSc in Human Centred Systems with distinction. Her dissertation investigated the potential benefits of visual (graphical) programming languages for end-users programming Arduino.
She is currently working as a research fellow on the Stroke Association-funded EVA project, investigating the potential of multi-user virtual environments for improving the communication skills, and reducing social isolation, of people who have aphasia. She is also working on further refinements to GeST - a software prototype of an innovative gesture training tool for use in aphasia therapy, developed as part of the GReAT project.
Before joining City University Tracey headed up the IT development team at YouthNet UK (do-it.org / thesite.org), after gaining experience in a number of industry roles.
