He has been working at the Human Factors Research Group since September 2006, where his main research has been on the EU funded IP CoSpaces (FP6-IST-5-034245). He has also contributed to work on EU funded IP SATIN (FP6-IST-5-034525).
Michael's main research interests are in the development of collaborative technology from a user-centred design perspective - including user requirements elicitation procedures, development of design guidance, appropriate evaluation strategies, and producing valid collaboration models. He is also interested in the usability of mobile and nomadic devices, particularly in the driving domain.
