As Director of the HyperMedia Unit, I delight in being involved in its many diverse projects and activities. The HyperMedia Unit was founded by Professor Hermann Maurer in 1993 and I became the Deputy Director in 1994. As a senior Lecturer in the Computer Science department , my research interests range from multimedia to hypermedia, and from visual symbolic languages to distributed learning environments. As Director of the HMU, perhaps my hardest job is pulling back on the reigns of our forward looking Unit.
Many exciting projects have to be carefully evaluated.
Several of our successful projects have eventuated out of basic research work done in collaboration with Professors Herman Maurer and Suave Lobodzinski. My hobbies include nature hikes, swimming at Aucklands West Coast surf beaches, and most importantly, multicultural dancing.
