Recent and forthcoming talks

In May, I’ll be giving an invited talk on using technology to engage children and adolescents in mental health treatment at the Federation of European Academies of Medicine Symposium on Adolescent health: investing in the future at the French Academy of Medicine (PDF of programme). In June, I’ll be giving a seminar at the University of St. Andrews. I have had a more time to give talks this academic year, and so here’s a quick summary. September, I gave a talk at the Inspire Ireland Technology for Wellbeing Conference at Croke Park.… Read more

Position for postdoctoral HCI researcher on Understanding and Visualizing Multicore Performance

The School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin? is looking for applications for a Post-doctoral research position in the area of HCI and Visualization. The position is part of Lero, the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, with collaboration from IBM Research.

Whereas previously only a small minority of programmers would deal with parallel programming, the shift towards multi-core has meant that
a much wider proportion of programmers will need to produce parallel programs. The successful candidate will work as part of a small team
on the ManyCore project, which aims to support this activity through visualizations which help programmers understand and improve the
performance of their programs.… Read more

Two papers at CHI 2014

We will be presenting two papers at CHI 2014 in Toronto, one based on our work in mental health (in collaboration with Cornell University), and another looking at design considerations for parallel performance tools? (as part of the SFI-funded Lero project) . With over 2000 submissions to the papers track this year, we are delighted at this outcome in such a competitive venue.… Read more

Paper accepted to International Journal of Human-Computer Studies

Our paper “Analysing interactive devices based on information resource constraints”, authors? J.C. Campos, G. Doherty and M.D. Harrison, has been accepted for publication in the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, one of the longest established HCI journals. The analysis considers a safety-critical example (a medical infusion pump). The paper is open access (free to download) thanks to the EPSRC. DOI 10.1016/j.ijhcs.2013.10.005Read more

Presentations at CHI Workshops, ISRII

I recently presented at the 6th Scientific Meeting of International Society for Research on Internet Interventions (ISRII), on work with Cecily Morrison (Univ. Cambridge) – the talk was on Analysing Engagement in an Online Mental Health Intervention Platform. Cecily also presented on collaborative work at the CHI Workshop on HCI fieldwork in healthcare. We also had two papers at the CHI Workshop on Patient Clinician communication, the first on work with David Coyle (Univ. Bristol) on Supporting Therapeutic Relationships and Communication about Mental Health, and the second with Saturnino Luz and Ilana Rozanes (TCD) on the work of medical interpreters.… Read more
