This has led to them working with both MOSI and Digilab to showcase their work to the public.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I first met Meera Dulabh when I was preparing to go down to an event at the <a href=\"http:\/\/msimanchester.org.uk\/\">Museum of Science and Industry<\/a> in which she\u00a0would be displaying her\u00a0cutting edge work alongside some equally impressive collegaues. Unfortunately, I fell ill on that day so I missed out on the festivities and you guys missed out on an interesting blog piece.<\/p>\n<p>But talking to Meera in the lead up to the event, I was fascinated by the research she was telling me about. Once again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/?s=%23MondayMaterials\">#MondayMaterials<\/a> is meeting a PhD student who is undertaking a hugely exciting and innovative project. I\u2019ll let Meera tell you more about it:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hi Meera \u2013 welcome to the blog. Can you start by explaining your research, for the layman, in ten sentences or less?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I analyse consumer engagement to online shopping computer interfaces. So, for instance, I look at social media, videos, and browsing experience via an EEG \u2013 we put electrodes on the scalp to analyse brain activity when online shopping.<\/p>\n<p>And this is transferable to new things such as virtual reality \u2013 yeah, it\u2019s new and upcoming!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sounds fascinating, Meera. Thank you. So how can your research benefit the general public?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How could Meera Dulabh&#039;s research benefit the public?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6LwPSD6fVK8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Okay. So as I mentioned, the research that we\u2019re doing can be transferred to new online technologies. It can benefit organisations, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.net-a-porter.com\/\">Net-a-Porter<\/a> or online retailers, that can basically use our findings in terms of what\u2019s interactive, what\u2019s engaging.<\/p>\n<p>And it can also benefit the general public when they go onto the websites. And in the future, when you\u2019ve got these new virtual reality headsets, you can map these sort of findings and see what can be created in the future, and what can be taken out.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s basically how I think it will benefit the public.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>And how did you first get interested in your research area?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Did Meera first get interested in her research area?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NV_Gs0vSIN8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Okay, so my first degree wasn\u2019t in fashion. It was in Psychology and Law. I then wanted to follow my dreams of\u00a0 doing fashion because I\u2019d loved it since I was younger.\u00a0 I wanted to be a Fashion Buyer, so I went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fashionretailacademy.ac.uk\/\">Fashion Retail Academy<\/a> and I got relevant experience in that.<\/p>\n<p>And then it was a bit difficult and I missed studying. So I went and did the Masters and I used the internships that I got from several retailers and I used that to do my thesis.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1352\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1352\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/AdrenalineJunkieblog.jpg\" alt=\"Here we meet Meera's other side; the adrenaline junkie!\" width=\"375\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/AdrenalineJunkieblog.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/AdrenalineJunkieblog-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/AdrenalineJunkieblog-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/AdrenalineJunkieblog-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/AdrenalineJunkieblog-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here we meet Meera&#8217;s other side; the adrenaline junkie!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And, yeah, that\u2019s how I came across it. And then do the PhD \u2013 I got asked to do it. It was in Psychology and it was in Fashion, so it was perfect for me.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Going back a bit further, could you tell us who or what first inspired your interest in fashion?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What really inspired me was when I was little and I always used to draw pictures of women in dresses and things like that. So it\u2019s always been in me and that\u2019s what inspired me. Whenever I was bored I\u2019d always do that.<\/p>\n<p>And then after my degree, my first degree, I decided I was just going to follow what I love. And then I just did things like mood boards.<\/p>\n<p>And I just love shopping, so that\u2019s basically what influenced me in fashion. And then to the course that I\u2019m doing now.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you tell us a bit about your interests outside of work and what you get up to in your spare time?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m a bit of an adventure sports junkie. So I\u2019m a qualified scuba diver. I learnt to scuba dive because I love travelling, so when I go I\u2019ve now got my advanced scuba diving qualifications. I can\u2019t practice in Manchester, though \u2013 that\u2019s a bit difficult.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019ve started things like rock climbing, I\u2019ve done some Buddhism classes, and I play squash. I do like sports, so that\u2019s what I do in my spare time currently.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Brilliant, thanks Meera. So, even if Manchester isn\u2019t good for scuba diving, could you tell us how good it has been for your work and research?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How has being in Manchester benefited Meera&#039;s research?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iFfWajp418w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Well there\u2019s everything around here in Manchester. There are a lot of facilities around, there are a lot students around, so that benefits me in the sense that I can use the libraries, I can contact the academics or people that I need to because everyone\u2019s around here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1359\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1359\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/MeeraGradblog.jpg\" alt=\"Meera during graduation here at Manchester\" width=\"375\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/MeeraGradblog.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/MeeraGradblog-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/MeeraGradblog-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/MeeraGradblog-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2016\/02\/MeeraGradblog-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meera during graduation here at Manchester<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But also, it\u2019s such a lovely place and it\u2019s such a lovely city to visit. There\u2019s a lot to do here \u2013 there\u2019s a place called the Northern quarter which is good for going out. There\u2019s also a lot of sort sporting activities that you can do.<\/p>\n<p>So Manchester, I think, is the best place to do the PhD. It\u2019s the perfect setting for everything.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well what a positive note to end on \u2013 I\u2019m glad to hear that Manchester has been so good to you. Thanks for the interview, Meera \u2013 I\u2019m very excited to see how your research develops.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To the rest of you, come back in 2 weeks.
