Her main research project was evaluating the effectiveness of 'Foodbot Factory', an evidence-based serious game designed using the 2019 Canadian Food Guide as a reference, which aimed to teach children about healthy eating, nutrition and health literacy.  

Hannah's Doctoral research focuses on the effectivness of theoretical-based digital nutrition behaviour change interventions on healthy eating behaviours and dietary intakes in low-socioeconomic primary school children. Hannah's research is supervised by Dr. Emma Norris and Dr. Kei Long Cheung. Hannah aims to address the need for theory-based digital interventions, developed with interacting components which result in the greatest effectiveness of dietary outcomes in low-socioeconomic families.
