School of Computing and Mathematics

My first degree was in French and Linguistics, from Reading University; my PhD was in Experimental Psychology, from Reading University. I have worked in a variety of fields, including English lecturing, field archaeology, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, and human factors. I am a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Keele University, and a visiting Senior Research Fellow in Computer Science at the Open University.

My current research interests include the following.

• Elicitation methods across disciplines, including e-commerce, healthcare, public opinion research and education
• Modelling knowledge, particularly semi-tacit knowledge and the interactions between tacit knowledge and other knowledge types
• Testing knowledge, mainly via the Verifier approach
• Teaching knowledge, particularly semi-tacit knowledge likely to be missed in formal education

I am particularly interested in long-standing multidisciplinary problems which involve difficult theory and significant practical implications.
