Profile
My research interests include people's perception of outdoor spaces, nature-related activities for older people, restorative experiences and design of therapeutic settings for older adults. I am also interested in research methods in Environment-Behaviour Studies and the interface between research and design. I am currently working on the I'DGO (Inclusive Design for Getting Outdoors) project, which aims to identify effective ways to ensure the outdoor environment is inclusive and accessible for older people.
