My research interests are broadly at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and AI, including topics such as:<\/p>\n
Responsible AI UK (RAi UK)<\/strong><\/p>\n “Responsible Ai UK will connect UK research into Responsible AI to leading research centres and institutions around the world. This will allow RAi UK to deliver world-leading best practices for how to design, evaluate, regulate, and operate AI-systems in ways that benefit people, society and the nation.”<\/p>\n Website: rai.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n May 2023-March 2028 (funded by UKRI)<\/p>\n UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n “In order to realise the industrial and societal benefits of Autonomous Systems, they must be trustworthy by design and default, judged both through objective processes of systematic assurance and certification, and via the more subjective lens of users, industry, and the public. To address this and deliver it across the TAS programme, the UK Research Hub for TAS (TAS-UK) assembles a team that is world renowned for research in understanding the socially embedded nature of technologies.”<\/p>\n Hub website: tas.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n September 2020-August 2024 | Project details<\/a> (funded by UKRI \/ EPSRC)<\/p>\n RoboClean:\u00a0Human Robot Collaboration for Allergen-Aware Factory Cleaning<\/b><\/p>\n This project investigates the potential of human-robot collaboration, integrated with IoT sensors for cleaning and allergen detection on a factory floor. The outcomes of this\u00a0 project will include an interactive connected system enabling novel human-robot collaboration and sensor data collection in a factory by engaging with partners in industry (British Pepper and Spice) and the third sector (the Food and Drink Forum).<\/p>\n November 2018-April 2020 | Project details<\/a> (funded by UoN Smart Products Beacon and Horizon DER)<\/p>\n A-IoT<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Future Everyday Interaction with the Autonomous Internet of Things<\/strong><\/p>\n This project seeks to investigate the design of interaction mechanisms and user interfaces for a future Autonomous Internet of Things (A-IoT): a system of interconnected devices that reaches beyond most current incarnations of the IoT to include aspects of autonomy or automation as a key feature.<\/p>\n April 2016-October 2019 | Grant\u00a0details<\/a>\u00a0(funded by EPSRC)<\/p>\n UbiDesign<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Ubiquitous Computing Enabled Design<\/strong><\/p>\n This project explores novel, intelligent models of design engineering processes that utilise real-time sensor based information and Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) technologies to promote stakeholder collaboration, and embed life cycle knowledge throughout sustainable engineering design processes.<\/p>\n February 2016-July 2017 | Grant details<\/a> (funded by EPSRC)<\/p>\n CharIoT<\/strong>\u00a0– Leveraging the Internet of Things to Reduce Fuel Poverty<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a joint project with the Centre for Sustainable Energy and the University of Southampton. The project aims at supporting the work of energy advisors through co-development and deployments of IoT-sensor kits for collecting environmental data in homes, and interactive prototypes to support sense-making and advice giving based on that data.<\/p>\n October 2014-March 2016 | Grant details<\/a> (funded by EPSRC) | Project website<\/a><\/p>\n Latest: the project continued into 2017, joint funded by the EPSRC IAA (impact accelerator account) and Horizon Digital Economy Research (http:\/\/www.horizon.ac.uk\/project\/chariot-2-0\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n ORCHID<\/strong> – Human Agent-Collectives: from Foundations to Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n My research in ORCHID has focused on HCI in the application areas of energy use in the home,\u00a0and on disaster response—the common denominator being the ORCHID theme of Human-Agent Collectives.<\/p>\n January 2011-June 2016 | Grant details<\/a> (funded by EPSRC) | Project website<\/a><\/p>\n Some selected research themes cutting across some of the earlier of the above projects.<\/em><\/p>\n The focus of this work is\u00a0on HCI and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) in the context of energy use in the home. Our research includes<\/p>\n In this\u00a0research theme we investigate technologies to support team work in disaster response settings. Highlights include<\/p>\n Between 2008 and 2011 I completed my PhD at the Mixed Reality Lab under supervision of Steve Benford<\/a> and Chris Greenhalgh<\/a>. My research focused on mobile, context-aware interruption management, and techniques to study interruptions in field experiments.<\/p>\n My thesis “Understanding Receptivity to Interruptions in Mobile Human-Computer Interaction” can be obtained from the University’s etheses archive\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The thesis makes a number of contributions to the methodology of studying mobile experiences in situ, understanding receptivity to interruptions, and designing context-sensitive systems.<\/p>\n There are a number of papers that detail this strand of work (see Publications<\/a>\u00a02010\/2011). The most recent paper Understanding Mobile Notification Management in Collocated Groups<\/a>\u00a0was published at ECSCW 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My research interests are broadly at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and AI, including topics such as: Human-AI Interaction and\u00a0Human-Centred AI Responsible AI Conversational \/ Agentic AI Voice \/ Speech Interaction Interaction studies (e.g., drawing on Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis) Accountable \/ Explainable \/ Interpretable Systems Collaboration and work practice (e.g., CSCW) Ubiquitous Computing […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":652,"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.cs.nott.ac.uk\/pszjf1\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
