Dr Tom Bartindale

Associate Professor

School: Computer Science

I am a Human Computer Interaction researcher. I specialize in new media production technologies and the opportunities arising from novel interaction technologies, collaborative interaction, mobile and situated computing. 

I have a passion for exploring the possibilities for new media production tools, processes and social dynamics, particularly given the vast array of innovative interaction technologies and networking infrastructure now available. 

I bring my first hand experience of working with production technologies, as an event manager and technician, to envision new forms of media consumption, production and delivery. 

I have experience in the design and application of novel interaction technologies to support professional media production focussing on applying these technologies and practices to support non-professionals across diverse communities such as mental health, public health, international development and higher education.
