Dr. Daniel Fitton is a Senior Lecturer in Socio-technical Systems at the Department of Computing and Communications, Lancaster University. His research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX) Design, particularly involving younger users (children and teenagers) in technology development through co-design techniques.

Research Interests:

• Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
• User Experience (UX) Design
• Child-Computer Interaction
• Co-design Methods for Youth
• Deceptive Design and Monetization
• Physical Computing for STEM Education

Publication Trends: Recent work emphasizes ethical frameworks for child participation in HCI, evaluation techniques for interactive technologies, and design processes for calm technology applied to smart toys. These align with interdisciplinary themes in computer science, education, and human factors.
