Research Interests

• My research interests are related (but not confined) to user-centred design (UCD), usability and human-computer interaction (HCI). I am specially interested in product evaluation with users, user studies and gender issues related to information technology
• My current research revolves around mobile contexts of use, context awareness and requirements gathering
• I am interested also in the STS and theories on the co- construction of technology and society (along the ideas of Latour), and in feminist critiques on technology
• In addition, I am concerned with the research on attitudes & technology
