Biography
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.
Research and scholarship
My current research interests include the following:
- Elicitation methods across disciplines, including e-commerce, healthcare, public opinion research and education
- Modeling knowledge, particularly semi-tacit and tacit knowledge.
- Methodological support for expert reasoning about hard problems, e.g. my work on the Voynich Manuscript, and my work with Sue Gerrard on autism.
- Teaching, training, and education theory, with particular reference to undocumented craft skills in expertise, and to the transmission of semi-tacit and tacit knowledge.
I am particularly interested in long-standing multidisciplinary problems which involve difficult theory and significant practical implications.
Teaching

Further information
My work on modeling errors in expert reasoning has featured in several television documentaries, and in Scientific American. I am also interested in elicitation methods, methods for representation of information, education methods, and craft skills.
