If you are interesting in doing Computing research, either full-time or part-time, contact me or Prof Madjid Merabti.

I started out doing my PhD research in Graphical User Interface specification at Lancaster university. I was then awarded a SERC Post-doc fellowship to look at concurrency and interaction which I did at Glasgow University. I also got involved with work on the Wet&Sticky paint system. While at Glasgow I got a project grant to look at Temporal Aspects of Usability. After that I went to GMD (now the Fraunhofer Institute ) and got involved in virtual reality research, particularly shared virtual reality.

Wet&Sticky is available under the GPL licence. Email me if you want a copy d.england@livjm.ac.uk

Now at Liverpool John Moores I am continuing my research and teaching interests in HCI and VR. You can get more info from my publications page and my teaching page.
