I have put up a listing of project ideas for CA3/CA4. Please feel free to contact me regarding any of these, or any other project that is related to MultiMedia, Human Digital Footprints or Search Engines.


Research

I am a researcher in information retrieval (IR), though I have a particular interest in how people access information from mobile devices (MHCIR). I have an ongoing interest in Human Digital Memories and I have gathered an archive of over five million sensecam images of life since June 2006. I am also interested in sensing the environment and the person through my involvement with CLARITY as a named collaborator. In additon, I still maintain an interest in Information Seeking on the WWW, which was my PhD topic.

In 2010 I am the PC co-chair of the European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2010) and co-organiser of SenseCam 2010 in Dublin. In 2011, I am general chair of ECIR 2011, which is bring held in Dublin at the Guinness Storehouse and the Radisson Blu hotel, both in Dublin city centre.
