Employment

2006-on going Research Assistant, MATCH (Mobilising Advanced Technology for Home Care)

user engagement : tool development : data modelling : sensor fusion

MATCH is interested in how Home Care Technology can empower older people giving them an increased sense of safety and security in there own home. Coupling a better understanding of what Older people need and want, with cutting edge technologies and methods we hope to allow ‘ageing in place’. This can reduce the stress and anxiety of the increased care needs associated with getting older, by providing them in the familiar environment of your own home.

2005-2006 Research Assistant, RAFT (Remotely Accessible Field Trips)

tool development : event organising

RAFT developed Technology to allow a small group of School Children to make a Field trip whilst maintain and engaging with the rest of the class remotely. This involved audio visual contact as well as the ability to exchange information. I was involved in the final stages, facilitating some International Field Trips and adapting Scribbles to be a web delivered hypermedia story sketching tool.

Education

2006-on going PhD Applied Software Engineering:

“Technology’s role in supporting collaborative Algorithm development”
