Amy Ingold
Research Associate
My work is associated with BIG::Diverse. My research themes and interests include child-computer interaction, co-design, cross-sensory interaction, inclusion & social play.
Amy is a Research Associate enjoying her postdoc in the Diverse-Ability Interaction Lab. As Co-design Lead on the InclusiveXplay project, she is part of a team developing novel cross-sensory playful shape-changing technologies for inclusive social play. Amy has a PhD in Affective Soft Robotics from the University of Bristol, a masters in Neuroscience from University College London and a bachelors in Psychology from Goldsmiths. She embraces and adapts human-centred research methods to better understand people's relationships with technology, and to develop technology that is better for people.
