Emily Corrigan-Kavanagh, PhD
Research Fellow in Design Research
I am a design researcher and academic, currently in receipt of a fully funded 3-year fellowship with proleptic appointment to establish "Designing AI for Home Wellbeing" as a new interdisciplinary field and design approach at the University of Surrey. I am also the founder and lead of the special interest group "Home Wellbeing" at the University of Surrey.
Prior this, I was the lead Research Fellow in Design on the EPSRC funded Fellowship "AI for Sound" investigating how AI for sound technology could improve wellbeing in the home and workplace. Before that, I was the lead Research Fellow in Design on the EPSRC bid “Next Generation Paper Project” exploring new augmented paper technologies within travel and tourism at Surrey and completed a fully funded PhD in designing for home happiness using creative research methods at Loughborough University.
I am passion about leading design research for real-world impact that creates more resilient societies through technology, service, and social innovation.
