I am working in the domains of digital transformation, user experiences and innovation in big digital cultural collections. After 13 years of academic experience in Scotland, Malta and Qatar I am now reintegrating in my native Bulgaria with a research grant which explores disruptive technologies in innovation labs in GLAM institutions. In 2019 I was instrumental in hosting the booksprint which delivered the first book exploring the innovation labs in the cultural and scientific heritage sectors, ‘Open a GLAM Lab’ and I also was honoured to receive the Europeana Unsung Hero award.
