I teach at the Lagos Business School.

I am passionate about psychology, computer technologies and the cognitive/affective consequences of humans interfacing with these technologies. Digital Information and Communication Technologies now drives almost all aspects of life: work, social relationships, communication, leisure, learning and health.

My research in human-computer interactions seeks to understand better how to apply positive psychology and technology to achieving human flourishing, wellbeing and productivity across all life domains. As in the work domain, I am curious about how to effectively employ immersive technologies in positive behaviour modification, learning, communication, leisure, physical and mental health.

One key aspect of my research explores virtues and character as the foundation for human flourishing and productivity. I am currently exploring the use of Virtual Reality for perspective-taking towards eliciting greater empathy and compassion in people.
