People

We are an interdisciplinary team working across the University of Bath and Goldsmiths, University of London.

Dr Emily Collins (PI), Applied Digital Behaviour Lab, University of Bath

Dr Collins is a Research Associate and the project lead for GIFS. Her research to date has focused on how technology can impact behaviour. Her PhD involved investigations into the existence of problematic video game use (or video game “addiction”), as well as the possible benefits of playing, including positive social and cognitive outcomes.  She has also looked at the use of video games in occupational settings, investigating whether than be used to promote better post-work recovery and reduce work-home interference.  She has published her findings in leading venues across Psychology, Computer Science and Human Computer Interaction, and been funded by the EPSRC and ESRC Further details on her research can be found here: https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/persons/emily-collins

Dr Joanne Hinds, Applied Digital Behaviour Lab, University of Bath

Dr Hinds is a Research Associate in Behavioural Science and Cybersecurity.  Joanne holds a doctorate in Informatics and a degree in Computer Science, both from the University of Manchester.  She currently works on the CREST project (www.crestresearch.ac.uk) which aims to understand the psychological and social drivers of current security threats. Her research is seeking to understand how the internet is currently used in the recruitment, radicalisation and organisation of threats to national security and how it can be harnessed to mitigate such threats.  Further details on her research can be found here: https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/persons/joanne-hinds

Dr Sarah Wiseman, Department of Computer Science, Goldsmiths, University of London

Dr Wiseman is a Lecturer in Computer Science. Her research focuses on Human Computer Interaction and she is interested in a range of topics including the design of data entry interfaces for hospitals and citizen science, and how haptic technologies can be designed for users with visual impairments.  Sarah is also involved in public engagement and science communication work, which includes performing stand up comedy about her research, as well as giving talks at the Royal Institution and Science Museum.  Her personal website is: http://swiseman.co.uk

Prof Adam Joinson, Applied Digital Behaviour Lab, University of Bath

Prof Joinson holds the post of ‘Professor of Information Systems’ at the University of Bath, School of Management. His research focuses on the interaction between psychology and technology, with a particular focus on how technology can be to shape behaviour, social relations and attitudes. Recently this work has taken in privacy attitudes and behaviors, the social impact of monitoring technology, computer-mediated communication and communication behaviors and the human aspects of cyber-security and security compliance. The EPSRC, ESRC, EU, British Academy and UK Government have funded this work, and he has published over 60 articles in the field, as well as editing the Oxford Handbook of Internet Psychology (OUP, 2007), and authoring two books on psychology and technology. He is principal investigator for the cSALSA project, and co-investigator for the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (www.crestresearch.ac.uk).

We also have an academic steering committee, providing input and expertise.
