Biography

Role

I am a Research Fellow for the EPSRC funded eviz project (Energy Visualisation for Carbon Reduction). We are investigating whether demand for energy can be reduced when energy is made more visible, for users. If so, what are the key features of such visualisations.

I teach on the PSY250 module (Workplace Learning and Skills Development) in the School of Psychology and supervise final year projects.

Qualifications

Teaching

Teaching interests

Within the School of Psychology, I teach on module PSY250 and supervise project students in their final year.

I have however, spent my earlier career in Schools and FE Colleges, teaching vocational and academic Business and Marketing. During this time I coordinated courses, led a Business Studies section and acted as a College Counsellor. I have also been an Assistant Examiner for AS Business Studies (AEB) and have also taught on the Open University DZX222 and B120 modules.
