I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Glasgow.
My research focuses on self-calibrating interfaces which allow you to immediately control a device without the device initially knowing how to interpret your actions. Explore this interactive paper for an intuitive walkthrough.
I teach interdisciplinary design thinking courses and develop smartphone based technologies for STEAM education. See student projects 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Talk to me about the history of technology and start-up.
I maintain a list of low carbon computing teaching resources.
Now
Running user studies for IFTT-PIN.
Working on toolings and demos for Espruino. See 1, 2.
Working on a grant to bring self-calibration to continuous interaction domains. See my proof-of-concept, contact me to know more.
