Research
My main research interest is in the area
of computing education. I am co-director of the

computing. Research projects encompass a wide range of aspects
of computing education. CERG is a member of the Centre
for Organisational and Social Informatics (COSI) and Computer Science Education
Research Groups International (CSERGI).
