Dr Scholar’s research centres on understanding how people use information, tools and technologies in real-world settings. Their work combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to examine decision-making, user experience, and the impact of design on behaviour. They are particularly interested in applied methods that bridge academic research, industry practice and public engagement.
