Her academic career shows consistent productivity with 139 publications from 1999 to forthcoming 2025 works, demonstrating sustained research leadership in interdisciplinary domains that bridge technology, urban design, and community engagement. Dr. Caldwell completed her PhD by Publication at QUT in 2016 titled 'Media architecture: Facilitating the co-creation of place,' establishing her foundational work in digital placemaking. Her educational trajectory shows progression from early architectural design education to interdisciplinary research that increasingly incorporates robotics and healthcare applications. She has developed significant expertise in both theoretical frameworks and practical implementations of media architecture through projects like the InstaBooth. Caldwell's research program centers on how digital technologies transform urban experiences and healthcare environments. Her work explores media architecture as a tool for community empowerment, human-robot collaboration in surgical and aged care settings, and participatory design approaches for sustainable communities. She has pioneered 'radical placemaking' frameworks that use digitally situated narratives to address social inequalities and has increasingly incorporated 'more-than-human' perspectives that examine urban ecosystems beyond human-centric viewpoints. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) reveals three dominant research trajectories: 1) Human-robot interaction in healthcare (particularly surgical robotics and aged care), 2) Radical placemaking through community-driven digital narratives, and 3) More-than-human approaches to urban technology that consider ecological and multispecies perspectives. Her work demonstrates strong methodological diversity, employing co-design, qualitative analysis, and scoping reviews across these domains. Dr. Caldwell has received significant recognition through high-impact publications in top venues including ACM/IEEE HRI conferences, Urban Planning journal, and Scientific Reports. Her work on the InstaBooth methodology has influenced community engagement practices in urban design, while her recent healthcare robotics research is contributing to improved human factors in surgical and aged care settings. She actively supervises and collaborates with numerous researchers across disciplines, including notable work with PhD candidates Waldemar Jenek and Kavita Gonsalves. Caldwell has secured research funding for projects examining human-robot collaboration in healthcare settings and community-based media architecture initiatives, though specific grant details aren't documented in her publication record. Her research is connected to QUT's Human-Robot Interaction Lab and Media Architecture Research Group, where she contributes to developing frameworks for ethical and effective technology deployment in healthcare and urban contexts. Caldwell's current work focuses on future directions including multispecies storytelling in precarious times, systemic impacts of rehabilitation robots, and pandemic-responsive urban design approaches that address contemporary social challenges.
