My research focus has long been on Inclusive Design and the Social Aspects of Computing, developed in large part through the Cyprus Interaction Lab. With my move to the Department of Sustainable Development, this focus now extends naturally into sustainability, which I approach as a deeply human-centred, social, and participatory challenge.

• Human-centred approaches to sustainability transitions and education for sustainable development (ESD)
• Inclusive and participatory design as methods for engaging communities in sustainability
• Social network analysis of ESD scholar communities and knowledge networks
• Digital sustainability and the role of technology in long-term human and environmental wellbeing
• Design of interactive systems for the elderly and people with disabilities, and the link between inclusion and sustainable, equitable societies
• Computer-mediated communication, online communities, and their role in collective action and social change
• E-learning, sociability around e-learning, and digital tools for sustainability education
• Web accessibility as a dimension of social sustainability and digital inclusion

For many years I have worked in the broad area of Human-Computer Interaction, with particular emphasis on mathematical models of age-related differences in browsing information systems, on e-learning and computer-assisted language learning, and on the analysis of online communities through social network analysis — including their role as catalysts in addressing regional conflict. I now bring these methods to bear on questions of sustainability: how communities form around sustainability goals, how knowledge networks in ESD develop, and how inclusive, participatory design can make sustainability transitions genuinely equitable.

I am an active lab member of the Cyprus Interaction Lab and the RISE CoE where you can also find the list of funded projects I have participated in.
