Personal profile

Biography

Tommy’s research involves Research through Design (RtD) and experience-centred practice. His PhD research was funded by Microsoft Research, working with people living with dementia in care, the Alzheimer’s Society and Gateshead Council. This research led to the creation of physical-digital artefacts to foster ‘meaningful moments’ as part of everyday interactions. Subsequently, Tommy was a Senior Research Associate on the EPSRC ‘Playing Out with IoT’ project. This was an RtD investigation on how IoT tool-kits might provide new ways to play outdoors. Tommy has applied skills in the design and making of deployable IoT research prototypes, with a concern for physical and digital design, and implementation.
