Emma Thom, PhD Researcher.

I am a PhD researcher in the Future Interaction Lab at Swansea University under the supervision of Prof. Matt Jones. Currently I am designing and developing wearable technologies to support researchers on the PATINA (Personal Architectonics of Interfaces to Artefacts) project. Funding was awarded by the EPSRC and the AHRC through the RCUK Digital Economy programme.
