Research interests
Dr Richmond's research aims to develop a deeper understanding of children's development, including their neurodevelopment and mental health, and the contribution of environmental factors. Her research has two related themes:
1. Artificial intelligence (AI) and mental health: Recent research has focused on investigating the potential of AI (social robots and voice technology) to support children with mental health challenges and their families.
2. Understanding enviromental factors in neurodevelopment: Recent research has explored the role of parenting in typical brain development and for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (eg. ADHD).
