Work
Beatson Institute for Cancer Research
I currently work at the Beatson Institute in Glasgow within Peter Adams lab (Alt Link). I'm titled as a Computational Biologist which means I'm strictly in silico. You'll find me performing analysis of public and private datasets, Next Gen Sequencing applications, microarrays and a host of other approaches. I try to do a bit of everything really. Keeps me out of trouble.
MATCH
Previously, I was on the MATCH project; which is a collaborative research project between the Universities of Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling. The general idea was to develop a research base for technologies which might support social and health care at home.
At Glasgow we had three main research themes; (i) requirements elicitation, (ii) multimodal interaction and (iii) configuration of dynamic systems.
My PhD work within the project primarily focused on generic methods of choosing appropriate interaction techniques within a complex and/or evolving system (such as a typical ubicomp system). That's the third one from the list above. I did some other stuff too though.
Other people at Glasgow who were on the MATCH project are Phil Gray (my supervisor), Marilyn McGee-Lennon, Steve Brewster and Rod Murray-Smith.
