Siân Lindley
Senior Principal Research Manager
About
I co-lead People-Centric AI, a multi-disciplinary research area at Microsoft Research Cambridge. Within that, I lead Project Ensemble, which researches, designs, and builds tools that support shared understanding across extended human-agent knowledge workflows. My research spans human-agent teamwork, human-AI collaboration, enterprise, gig, and frontline work, web use, digital possessions, community data, later-life technology, and technologies for the home. I use methods including deployments, interviews, focus groups, diary studies, and experiments; qualitative and quantitative analysis; and design sprints that convert research insights into design ideas.
I have a PhD in Psychology from the University of York and an MSc in Human-Centred Computing Systems from the University of Sussex. I was a Lecturer at UCL before joining Microsoft in 2007.
I am a BCS Fellow and Distinguished Member of the ACM.
