Academic Research
I worked on the INCA project which is investigating how to empower people with aphasia to create, curate and access digital content through innovative technologies. INCA is a cross-disciplinary project at City, University of London with human-computer interaction researchers, speech and language therapists, academia and charity. Currently, I sit on the advisory committee of INCA and meet regularly with the team. See all publications from INCA on ResearchGate.
