PhD
My PhD research was specifically in the area of context-aware dynamic software product-lines for mobiles (Smart phones). My research aims to improve the handling of context within DSPLs, and how to handle Feature-Oriented User Interface adaptation at compile-time, and runtime.
Projects
Following my PhD, I was involved in the following research projects:
POSEIDON: Technology support for people with Down’s Syndrome. My role within this project is developing context-aware and semantic technologies.
Previous to starting my MPhil/PhD, I worked on a couple of research projects including:
REMORA : Providing mobile software toolkits to support work-based learning and assessment for social workers
Knowledge Connect Projects involving SMEs; firstly one doing mobile development while researching into a Domain Specific Language for mobiles (see publications). Secondly was working with a openssource social-networking platform for a local youth engagement SME.
