This blog will be used for news regarding my research including publications, conferences, workshops and more!
First of all a few things about me:
Prior to becoming a researcher at Coventry University for the Beaconing project (http://beaconing.eu), funded by Horizon 2020 and consisting of 15 partners in 9 different countries, I taught various levels of Computer related subjects at the Universities of Oxford and Wolverhampton. I also was a member of projects funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), including the award winning First World War Poetry Archive and the Assessing and Storing Knowledge project. My academic background includes a BSc in Computer Science a Master’s degree in Business and Management Information Systems and a doctorate in the area of Intelligent Online Learning Environments.
Research Interests
My research interests lie in the field of Artificial Intelligence and, more specifically, in designing Health Care training simulations that integrate emotional and personality traits. I am also very interested in using games for education and enhancing learning using location based services (such as GPS and Bluetooth beacons).
