Research interests

My research focuses on the role and impacts of digital tools in architectural design education. Some areas of interest are those of cognition and semiotics, modelling and representation, technology-enhanced learning and computer-supported collaborative work. During my doctoral research I observed the impacts of augmented reality tools and the use of Wikis to support design studio teaching.
