Senior Lecturer in Programming and Games Development
I’m a passionate developer who loves coding for various products and scenarios. Apps, websites, and databases all interest me but there’s nothing quite like programming a game, bringing together all your computer science knowledge with a splash of your own creative flair.
I am Programme Leader for BSc (Hons) Game Development with a focus on programming techniques, algorithms, mechanics, design patterns and practical 3D game creation.
Teaching and supervision
I teach core game development modules on BSc (Hons) Game Development, specifically:
- Game Development (CET141)
- Rapid Game Prototyping (CET243)
- Game Showpiece (CET376)
Research
I am currently studying for my PhD with an interest in immersive technologies (such as virtual and augmented reality, VR/AR) and their applications to training medical professionals (such as nurses and paramedics).
I also have an interest in the use of VR and AR for wider applications but in particular related to human-machine interfaces or general teaching and learning.
