Short presentation
My research is concerned with everyday practices and digital technologies, and how they can be related to sustainability (energy demand and carbon emissions). Much of my recent work has focused on the proliferation of online services (streaming, social networking, gaming); and their invisible impacts due to the Internet and data centres. I have also spent significant time researching thermal comfort; and digital automation. I employ both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
