Research areas
Sharon is a PhD researcher examining the role of emergent digital technologies in preserving and engaging with cultural heritage while supporting sustainable development. Her research focuses on digitising cultural landscapes—both natural and cultural heritage—to assess various impacts on heritage and community identities. She explores how digital tools, including 3D scanning, 3D modeling, and mixed reality, can aid in recreating and safeguarding heritage at risk.
By integrating innovative digital methodologies, Sharon’s work contributes to a holistic understanding of heritage preservation, empowering communities and heritage practitioners to use technology for sustainable heritage management. She also investigates capacity building, ensuring that digital heritage initiatives actively support regional development and cultural continuity. Through her research, she aims to bridge the gap between technology, cultural heritage, and sustainability, fostering greater community engagement and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
