Currently working on my Ph.D. thesis on "Life Before Death". The Life Before Death programme targets adult people, who due to illness or injury are aware that they only have a few months to live before they die. The programme aims to design for these people a digital service to help them and their close ones make the best possible out of the remaining time, whatever this means to them.
As a part of this work, and beyond it, I am studying interactive storytelling, game design and software design in general.
I am also looking into artificial intelligence and consciousness.
