I am a designer, lecturer and researcher at the University of Leeds, UK, exploring ways to communicate, not only to inform but to generate public engagement as well. In the last few years, I have been expanding my research on gamified mobile applications and ocean literacy and developing research tools to evaluate their impact on students’ motivation and engagement with the ocean.
My present research aims to bridge marine science and design through technology. I investigate more effective communication tools which can convey anthropogenic climate change impacts on marine systems in a way that matters to the people and consequently fosters pro-environmental behaviours.
