I am a Senior Lecturer in Architecture, Director of Studies for the BA (Hons) Architecture programme, and I am responsible for Admissions, Engagement and Recruitment. As an architect, researcher and academic I am interested in the relationship between people and architecture, and understanding ways of conception, occupation, appropriation and interpretation of the built environment.

I am an expert in learning and teaching environments. My current research explores the spaces and tools for learning, and I am interested in the policies and practices that affect the design of spaces, and the tools or products that enable learning to take place. I see the world as a big house that we all need to look after; together we can make a change and contribute to a better built environment.
