Ubiquitous and pervasive computing

I conduct experimental systems research in ubiquitous computing. Although I come from a distributed computing background, I am increasingly interested in the effects on human activity on such systems and how to best make it a core ingredient of their operation. I am keen to explore the implications of this new computing paradigm in society at large, and in particular for self-care, for extending the museum experience and in retail.

In these pages you can find more infromation about my research, including projects and publications, and my teaching in computing. If you are an MSc student in the school looking for a summer project check this page for some ideas.
