I am interested in understanding how people use networked systems, and using this information to build better systems. My research has involved measurements and testbeds for networked games, wireless networks, mobile sensors, smartphones, online social networks and opportunistic networks. More recently I have become interested in the privacy and ethical aspects of such research, which has in turn led to an interest in the law. I took a sabbatical to study for a law degree and am now focused on how technology, ethics and the law can be jointly used to regulate behaviour.
