Postgraduate Research in
HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION, GRAPHICS and MULTIMEDIA
at the University of Glasgow, UK
The Department of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow is seeking
applications for postgraduate study from highly qualified and motivated
candidates. We are one of the best departments in the country, gaining one
of the coveted 5* awards in the last Research Assessment Exercise. We have
a very active programme of research which covers a broad range of topics
including: communications, distributed systems, formal methods, graphics and
interactive systems, information retrieval, operating systems and persistent
systems. We have EPSRC studentships and other funding available in all of
these areas for UK and European students plus a limited number of open
studentships.
Glasgow Interactive Systems Group (GIST)
GIST is an inter-disciplinary research group based at Glasgow
University investigating all aspects of interactive systems from
graphics, to sounds, from User Interface Management Systems
to the psychology of interaction and formal specifications of
user interfaces. For more information read the GIST web pages at
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/gist/
This year we hope to attract three or four new research students
in the following general areas (but feel free to suggest your own!):
* Stephen Brewster http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~stephen/
Auditory interfaces, earcons and the use of sound
to improve human-computer interfaces; Multimodal
interaction, haptic and force-feedback devices; Telephone-based
interfaces and the combination of speech and non-speech sounds;
Interfaces for blind and visually impaired people; Auditory
interfaces to mobile computing devices
* Matthew chalmers http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~matthew/
Human-computer interaction, information retrieval, data mining, 2D and
3D information visualisation, computer supported collaborative work,
virtual environments. Adaptive interfaces and collaborative
filtering. The theory of information representation, and
informatics'
relationship to architecture, semiology and philosophy.
* Phil Gray http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~pdg/
User-interface design tools, techniques and methodology; user
interface management systems, rapid prototyping; learnability and
usability in object-oriented programming languages; data
visualisation; information representation
* Chris Johnson http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~johnson/
Human computer interaction; notations for user interface design;
temporal properties of multi-user interfaces; accident analysis;
requirements analysis; usability of formal methods; design and
evaluation of desktop virtual reality and design of computer games
* John Patterson http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~jwp/
Computer Graphics: 3-D image synthesis, texture building for
displacement mapping. Computer Animation: 2-D vectorisation and
in-betweening, evolutionary models for derivations of motion, Image
analysis: morphology-based analysis, recovery of the third dimension
from 2-D images, Image synthesis: defeat of compression artefacts,
warps and morphs. Image manipulation: visual languages, data-flow
models, spreadsheet models, direct manipulation models.
