Lab4Living welcomes Visiting Scholar from Future Self and Design Living Lab, Melbourne
As part of the programme of research activities funded through the Expanding Excellent in England programme, Lab4Living will host the first in a series of Visiting Scholars this week. Researcher Dr Sonja Pedell, who heads up the Future Self and Design Living Lab will be joining the Lab4Living team from Friday 19th July for a month.
Dr Pedell will be working with Lab4Living’s Dr Claire Craig on a body of research focusing on technology and care.
