Profile

I have a PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering (University of Birmingham), MSc in Human-Centred Computer Systems (University of Sussex), BSc Hons in Computer Science (University of Crete, Greece). Prior to Leicester I held Research Fellowships at the University of Birmingham and the UK Open University working on research and commissioned evaluation projects in the area of mobile and technology-enhanced learning. I joined the School of Museum Studies as RCUK Academic Fellow in 2007 and was then appointed Lecturer in 2012 and promoted to Professor in 2023. I was Director of Research and deputy REF Lead (2018-2024) and was previously Director of Postgraduate Research (2015-2018). I teach on campus-based and distance learning Masters programmes and supervise PhD and post-doctoral researchers. I am associate editor of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning and act as reviewer for several academic journals and conferences in the areas of technology-enhanced learning and museum studies. I am a member of the AHRC Peer Review College and have reviewed for several research councils internationally including the European Research Council and Horizon2020 MSCA.
