Note to academic service requests: I have left academia and will no longer be available for reviewing/chairing and other academic services.

I am a Software Engineer at Overton, a small company based in London that aims to bridge the gap between academic research and policymakers. As a trained Computer Scientist, 15 years of HCI Research Experience, and an enthusiastic tinkerer of apps, websites, and servers since the 1990s I like to solve problems on various scales. My (now mainly past, more academic) work and research interests are in a wide range of topics within the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), including but not limited to the following areas: sustainable HCI, sustainable interaction design, ubiquitous computing, HCI design patterns, HCI for development, issues of evaluation, data science, policy intervention, and interactive technologies.

Before joining Overton, I held several academic positions: Until 2025 I was a Senior Research Associate at Lancaster University (UK), working on a project to reduce end use energy demand. Prior to moving to the UK, I was an Assistant Professor at Aarhus University in Denmark, following my PhD and a post doc in Computer Science at ZPAC, the People and Computing Lab at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, led by Prof. Elaine May Huang. In my PhD thesis I tackled issues of obsolescence and e-waste by applying theoretical frameworks from Sustainable HCI to product design practice. In particular, my approach focused on integrating design guidelines into the design process with the goal to encourage a stronger bond between a device and its owner, preventing disposal and ultimately reducing e-waste. For more details, take a look at my project page and my publications or read my PhD thesis.

Here is a verbose version of my academic CV as well as a more generic one-page CV, not regularly updated - check my LinkedIn for my career path overview or Google Scholar for a list of publications.

In case you were wondering about the pictures: I am a passionate hiker; both pictures were taken at the top of Barrhorn. You can find plenty of hiking pictures on my Flickr account (for now no longer public, sorry, contact me for access).
