I am a multidisciplinary social scientist whose formal training spans law, French language, forensic medicine, philosophy, gender studies, social research, sociology, criminology and health services research.

To date, I have individually or jointly secured research funding totalling more than £1.6m. I am lead author or co-author of over thirty peer-reviewed papers and two edited collections. I review for a number of high impact journals/publishers and have assessed grant applications for several national governments as well as major UK funders. I am co-creator of Aberdeen’s original, free-to-play, location-based, augmented reality game for iOS devices: [m]apping.

I have substantive research interests in digital health, methodological expertise in designing, leading and delivering qualitative and mixed methods studies in applied health sciences and a pedagogical research focus on authentic assessment, postgraduate training and employment, within and beyond universities.
