Since 2000, Mark Dunlop has been a senior lecturer in computer science at Strathclyde. His research focuses on usability of mobile systems including mobile text entry, visualisation and evaluation of mobiles. His teaching is mainly in human computer interaction (HCI) and internet programming technologies. Prior to joining Strathclyde, Mark was a senior researcher at Risø Danish National Laboratory and a lecturer at Glasgow University.
Research
Mobile systems, such as mobile phones, pose new challenges for interactive system design and consequent evaluation: they have limited input/output facilities, are often used outside a standard work/task environment, have the potential to be used by an unusually wide spectrum of the population and are inherently mobile - thus making evaluation difficult.
Mark's research on mobiles spans the activities of the Mobiquitous Lab, Software Systems and i-Lab groups in the department. He is also involved in the organisation of MobileHCI and is on the editorial boards for mobile-HCI related journals.
Supervision
Mark is currently supervising Sohail Azad's MSc-Research on evaluation of mobile systems, Frøy Bjørneseth's PhD on multi-touch interaction, and Michelle Montgomery Masters's work on mobile information gathering.
Teaching
Mark is currently teaching the following classes:
- Topic in Computing 1 - Internet Programming Topic
- Human Computer Interaction
- Designing Usable Systems
- Web Systems Development
Admin
Mark is currently a member of the teaching committee with responsibilities for overseeing Computer and Internet Technologies MSc and the Internet Computing degree.
Mark's Background
Born in Paisley, near Glasgow, Scotland in 1967, Mark has lived all bar one year in Scotland (a fruitful 1999 in very civilised Roskilde, Denmark). He's married and has had three children, the surviving two are now in late nursery and early primary school.
