I am a Horizon Research Fellow and a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham.
Most of my time is spent on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. I am particularly focused on the design and evaluation of novel systems that support creativity, learning, collaboration, and information sharing. Look at my publications for more details.
Previously I worked at the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, on the Open Learning: Bridge to Success, Digital Scholarship and Out There and In Here projects.
Students at Nottingham can get some ideas of projects I would be interested in supervising here.
I am organising the ACM CHI 2013 Workshop: Methods for Studying Technology in the Home, with colleagues at Horizon as well as at Loughborough, Newcastle and Brunel Universities.
My PhD Thesis was entitled: Understanding Creative Interaction: A Conceptual Framework for the Design of Interactive Systems for Creative Activities. The thesis asks how can we understand creativity in a way that can be applied to designing interactive systems for activities such as musical composition or filmmaking. There is some information about prototype systems developed for my PhD and otherwise here.
