Lana is a PhD candidate and an Associate Lecturer at the University of Plymouth teaching on the undergraduate course BA/BSc Digital Media Design. The role consists of delivering lectures and workshops across a variety of modules and providing tutorial sessions to help improve student’s work.

Her PhD research builds on previous experience gained during master’s studies. The topic is around building digital archives and exploring the relationship between digital photographs, family heritage and the environment. The idea is to gain this knowledge by working closely with the community, through workshops and collaborations with museums.

Lana has also recently started working as a research assistant on projects around modern methods of construction for community building; mostly focusing on heritage and community aspects of the project.

Lana's interdisciplinary practice focuses mainly on creative coding and creating interactive interfaces, but also includes working with Arduino, creating projection mapping and VR/AR projects.
