Overview

My research revolves around the impact of computing technology on society, especially in developing countries and ethics in computing technology including improving young IT professionals’ ability to deliberate on unprofessional behaviour in the ICT workplace. I am also interested in the psychological aspects of computing technology, especially the emerging behaviour of looking at the smartphone during face-to-face conversations or phubbing. I conduct research using both quantitative and qualitative research methods and I am able to apply machine learning and data mining algorithms to Big Data.
