Overview
My interests in computer science are primarily in the less computer
oriented bits: algorithms and human computer interaction (HCI).
My current research interest is in supporting interaction between
people. In particular, I am interested in designing, creating
and evaluating environments both real and virtual that enable,
encourage and support human encounters. Whether the focus
is on social or task specific communication, how can the technology
and the environment involved influence the likelihood of an exchange
occurring and the outcome of the interaction?
The team I'm working with at CSIRO is designing, developing and
evaluating a prototype system to enable patients in regional areas
to access medical specialists without the need for extensive travel.
