Profile

 Keith graduated from Lancaster University in 1997 with a degree in Computer Science with Software engineering. He then joined the Distributed Multimedia Research Group as a Research Associate and worked initially on the GUIDE Project. Following his work on GUIDE, Keith was then responsible for managing the Real Tournament applications development as part of the industrially sponsored Mobile IPv6 Systems Research Lab (known internally as the Testbed project). The Testbed project was carried out in collaboration with Cisco Systems, Microsoft Research and Orange.

He was awarded his PhD in March 2002 for his research into supporting the development of mobile context-aware applications. His research interests fall broadly into the areas of human-computer interaction, context-aware computing, mobile and ubiquitous computing and wireless overlay networks.

His current research interests relate to the use of smart devices and large public displays within ubiquitous computing environments. More specifically, the use of Smartphones for enabling novel multimedia and interactive (educational) applications and services.
