BIO
My research focus is on the intersection of technology, agriculture and ecology which we term, computational agroecology and also on the human aspects of computing, including Software Engineering, Visualisation and eResearch. I investigate how humans engage and interact with this technology. My research includes both the design and deployment of technology for deployment in the environment and on farm; presentation of data and information for consumption (mobile web and interactive visualisation, evidence based software engineering) and the processes around human engagement (eResearch and Evidence Based Software Engineering). The ability for people to effectively engage with technology and interpret data is essential for technology adoption and effective data based decision-making. My work in Evidence based Software Engineering improves the quality of research reporting, and provides methods and tools to allow research evidence to be assessed to understand the impact on practice or policy. I work collaboratively with colleagues in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. I was previously seconded to be the Director, SIGNAL ICT Graduate School, which focused on growing and developing tech professionals for New Zealand.
