@villaronrubia

Principal Project Lead

Despite the differences, degrees in Social Work and IT are a great combination when working with people and technology. I worked as an information designer in the software industry for many years before moving into teaching and research. I have had a range of teaching roles, including media entrepreneurship, and am now returning to my design roots with my work in the DMLL – focussing on how students learn with technology. I love baking and take my kindle everywhere.

My background is in both arts and sciences (music, cognitive linguistics and acoustics). Having championed the use of emerging technologies and interdisciplinarity over the past 17 years in HE, I have joined the DMLL as Principal Project Lead and I’m looking forward to developing my practice/research alongside this awesome team! I like to spend time in the mountains, preferably in countries where I can’t understand anything that anybody’s saying.

My passion at home is developing and playing games (particularly board games and DND!)

Director

My son asked me not so long ago what it was that I did and why? My answer… “Well, Josh I’ve pulled photography, education and technology apart since the mid 90’s. I’m excited and inspired by the futures of photography which my recent book NEWFOTOSCAPES explores. I was thrilled to be called ‘…a quirky and eclectic thinker.’”

The lab is my answer to the ‘why’ in Josh’s question.
