Recent work

Alongside my PhD thesis, I have published work in Mobilities ('Winging it: visions, automation, and narrating alternative mobility futures'). This highlighted the need to complicate the simplistic-yet-dominant narratives surrounding autonomous mobility, discussing the role of creative, narrative methods in this process. I also contributed to a project on just transitions to decarbonisation.

I enjoy writing both short- and long-form fiction. Lately I've been experimenting with fiction in a research-based context; see for example the USNI blog and Royal Holloway. I've also been interested in screenwriting in the past; I've visited an Avengers set, and one screenplay even got me an agent in LA (briefly...).

In 2020, I was part of a team competing in the national Cyber 9/12 strategy competition, where we took on the role of senior advisors to government, briefing our response to a complex and escalating cyber-attack to a panel of judges. Our team came third.

I've long had an interest in design—graphic, product, and in terms of the process mindset. For instance, I designed this website, and I was on the organising committee for a Cybersecurity Summer School where, amongst other work, I designed the branding for the event.

Thinking about social justice issues and the distributional impacts of emerging technologies underpins my PhD work—and this interest in social issues has been in factor in past work too. I've done voluntary work in a couple of settings, including working alongside ambulance services and vulnerable people on busy nights in a city centre.
