Personal profile
Overview
I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology, specialising in Digital Mental Health, at the University of Manchester in 2024. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Professor Sandra Bucci’s digital mental health group, where I focus on digital mental health in psychosis.
My research interests include digital mental health, global mental health, passive data analysis (particularly GPS data), and data visualisation, especially of spatial data. I’m passionate about using technology to make mental health care more accessible, particularly in underserved and resource-limited settings.
During my PhD, I explored how digital health technologies can help manage severe mental health problems in China. I worked on developing a remote symptom monitoring tool tailored to people with psychosis, carefully adapting it to cultural contexts and needs. I also studied how both service users and professionals view digital mental health tools in order to better inform their design and use.
