Research Interest

My research informs the design of online services for vulnerable groups, especially those experiencing deep sadness and worry. I currently conduct research for the BETTER project which aims to provide research-based recommendations to improve Web accessibility guidelines for people with depression and anxiety. BETTER expects to make a significant contribution towards ensuring full and effective participation and inclusion in society, and equality of opportunity for people with these disorders by improving their access to the Web.
