Innovative People

Christine Farion

HCI, wearables, electronics, computers

I would describe myself as curious and always looking to learn and create. I carry my notebook with me wherever I am to write my ideas, thoughts, and observations. The mix of technology through so many fields now; fashion, education, health and so on, makes for an exciting and innovative time!

I was awarded a 4 year scholarship from EPSRC to complete a PhD in Media & Arts Technology, Queen Mary University of London. My research interests include Distributed Cognition, HCI, Physical Computing, Assistive Technology, Wearables and Perceived Forgetfulness. I specialize in hardware and software innovation. I hold a Masters in Creative Technology (Distinction) from Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds (2006) as well as a PGCE (Certificate of Education) from Huddersfield University (2005). She has developed iOS Apps, worked at technology company Trifork for an IoT project, P&G Gillette and was a Lecturer at York College and Leeds Met University. Currently I am a member of the Visual Impairment Services Team, where I am responsible for technology research, advice and help for the team and wider community.
