Welcome!
I am a
research fellow at the
Oxford Internet Institute, a
department within the Social Sciences Division of the
University of Oxford. I work
in the field of Social Informatics, hence the domain name of this
website.
Social Informatics is defined as “the interdisciplinary study of the
design, uses and consequences of ICTs that takes into account their
interaction with institutional and cultural context”. The aim of SI
is not only to enlarge academic understanding of ICTs, but also to
inform public policy debates and professional practice.
My research
interests encompass the following topics:
-
Social, economical, legal, political, and ethical implications of new technologies
(e.g.
biometrics, electronic voting,
e-government systems,
location tracking systems, large-scale security systems, smart
city technologies);
-
Privacy aspects
in relation to ICT;
-
Public trust
issues;
-
Online activism;
-
User
participation as a practical form for (computer) system design;
-
Defining user requirements for new applications.
