Biography
I am a lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Statistics, at Trinity College, Dublin. My main research interest is Human Computer Interaction. Since returning to Ireland I have led a number of research projects investigating the interaction design of challenging systems, in areas such as healthcare, mental health, and semiconductor manufacturing. Before joining the department, from the beginning of 1999 until October 2001, I was a research fellow on the European Union TMR Project TACIT (Theory and Applications of Continuous Interaction Techniques). For the first six months of the project I was working with Dr. Giorgio Faconti at Istituto CNUCE of the Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, at Pisa. Following this I was based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire with Prof. Michael Wilson. The project involved collaboration with researchers based in a number of European locations, from Computer Science, Engineering and Psychology backgrounds, with a focus on novel and emerging technologies where interaction between user and system is of a continuous nature. From 1995-1998 I was a research student at the Department of Computer Science, University of York . My research was conducted in the Human Computer Interaction group , under Prof. Michael Harrison. I was awarded a D.Phil. in 1998 for my thesis, entitled "A Pragmatic Approach to the Formal Specification of Interactive Systems".
