Recent work

Alongside my PhD thesis, I have published work in the journal 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 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 has been a factor in past work too; for instance, I've worked alongside medical services to help vulnerable people on busy nights out.
