RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

Research that connects
information, policy and society.

My research interests sit at the intersection of information management, public policy, digital transformation, language and communication. I am particularly interested in work that turns evidence into clearer decisions, stronger institutions and better public understanding.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Questions I keep
coming back to.

My work draws from both academic research and practical policy experience. I am interested in how information is produced, organised and used; how technology changes institutions and communication; and how research can support more responsive public policy.
