Profile Summary

My research lies in the broad area of Science and Technology Studies. Much of my research interest centres on information systems, in  particular, sociological and philosophical aspects of the subject. I have published widely on gender and information technologies, in particular, gender and artificial intelligence. I maintain an active research interest in computer ethics and have published a number of papers in this area. I was a PI on the EPSRC/ESRC/TSB funded VOME project. This is a three year project reseaching on-line privacy in collaboration with Royal Holloway UL, Cranfield University, Sunderland City Council and Consult Hyperion. In the last four years I have presented a number of papers on historical and sociological aspects of forensic sciences and technologies and I am currently consolidating this research into a book.
