Research themes
My research area is focused on the themes of technology enhanced learning and software engineering. I have been recently focusing on the security and privacy considerations of educational platforms. I am one of the original research engineers who developed the http://www.isaacphysics.org platform and still work part-time in the team that runs this and our other project https://ww.isaaccomputerscience.org
I have a general interest in software engineering, processes, practices and tooling.
