I'm one of the Core Programme Researchers for The Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats as part of the team investigating behavioural profiling from digital traces of mobile and online activity. Research in progress.
With Prof Joinson and Prof Tapp, we're now looking at the 'dark side' of self-monitoring - a hazardous cycling with the use of competitive apps such as Strava. Research in progress
With Dr Spotswood we're investigating how wearable technology transformed social practice of jogging. Research in progress.
With Prof Pollick and Dr Petrini we've used motion and voice capture system to record and create a large stimuli set of point-light, multisensory, emotional, social interactions - available in Behavior Research Methods.
In another project with Dr Petrini and Prof Pollick we investigated how people deal with emotionally inconsistent voice and movement. You can read about it in our Frontiers in Psychology paper.
Finally, together with Dr McKay and Prof Pollick we found that zombies are more acceptable if they move rather then when they are still. Our Zombie paper can be found in the journal Cognition.
