Hannah is based at Royal Holloway University and is part of the User Futures group, supervised by Dr. Andy Woods and Prof. Polly Dalton. Her PhD focuses on multisensory experiences and perception in immersive environments for performance.

She is a researcher at BBC Research and Development with extensive experience working across TV production and R&D for TV and radio, with a strong academic background in psychology. Accessibility and reach are a priority in any work she does. Hannah has worked on projects such as next generation audio for audiences with hearing impairments, evaluating public service media using human values metrics and co-design community-led deliberation investigating the future of journalism. She will use her expertise in user research and experimental psychology to create and evaluate new and engaging immersive experiences.
