About

Danielle Lottridge is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, with a focus on affective interaction, digital well-being, and the design of emotionally aware technologies. Her foundational work, including the highly cited chapter "Affective Interaction" (2011, 84 citations), synthesizes key emotion concepts—such as arousal, valence, and prototypical emotional states—to inform human factors design. Lottridge’s major contributions lie in bridging psychological theories of emotion with practical interface design, demonstrating how affective states can be measured, modeled, and supported in interactive systems. She has also advanced understanding of how technology impacts mental health, particularly through social media and mobile device use, exploring both positive and negative emotional outcomes. Her research has influenced the development of systems that adapt to users’ emotional needs, with applications ranging from health interventions to user experience optimization. With a strong record of interdisciplinary collaboration, Lottridge’s work has shaped how researchers and designers think about emotion in computing, making her a key figure in the growing field of affective computing and digital well-being.
