User Experience Design ResearchOur aims for technology design and development are that:

To be able to design an intentional user experience, e.g. that they are alert and able to concentrate when working with safety critical technologies, we need functionality and usability to also have been supported successfully.
My key research focus is the conceptualisation of reality, how it affects our use of technologies, and how we can factor this understanding into system design in all three of these areas. My background is in Distributed Information Management using integrating technologies such as workflow management systems and peer-to-peer computing, particularly from a modelling perspective. I am now building on that research by looking at engagement models, Affective Computing, and various study and design methods from the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Support for Collaborative Work (CSCW) fields. The overall goal of this work is to increase the effectiveness of technologies in relation to individual and group goals.
