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 three 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.

I have a number of active projects and research students. In 2010 I am the PC co-chair of the European Conference on Information Retrieval.
