Sarah Clinch is a researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, focusing on ubiquitous and mobile computing, pervasive displays, health technologies, and privacy and trust. Her work explores the intersection of technology and human behavior, particularly in the context of mobile multimedia applications, cloudlets, and IoT systems. Clinch investigates how pervasive displays can enhance digital signage and support health-related behaviors, while also addressing privacy and security challenges in smart environments. Her research includes the development of privacy mediators, the impact of video summarization on memory recall, and the role of technology in dementia care. She also examines the ethical and inclusive design of digital systems, emphasizing user-centered approaches and equity in technology.
