Interests
My research interests lie in user-related issues in information retrieval (IR), focusing in particular on information seeking behaviour in different contexts, e.g. structured documents. I have also worked on user-centred evaluation of IR systems and interface design for IR systems. I have a developing interest in distance learning, and have strong links with Queen Mary?s Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Unit. My work adopts a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing from such areas as information science, languages and experimental psychology, as well as different areas of computer science, e.g. human-computer interaction.
