Biography

Dan Chalmers has a B.Eng(Hons) in Software Engineering from UMIST (now part of Manchester University), an MSc in Advanced Computing and a PhD both from the Dept. of Computing, Imperial College London, and a PGCert from Sussex. He joined the University of Sussex in 2004. He has also worked for Ericsson on exchange management systems and database platforms for speech applications; at Imperial College and with various small companies advising on data models and management, use of maps in web sites and system security.

Role

Dan in a Senior Lecturer in Software Systems in the School of Informatics.

Please see Dan's personal pages for full information.

Dan's research is focused on pervasive computing, particularly where context is used to support useful interaction. Context includes device and network characteristics; environmental conditions; the user's context, such as location and interests; and social context, such as co-location, identity (and how it is presented), trust, reputation, provenance and social networks. Understanding these issues allows systems to adapt their behaviour to make computing reflect the users' needs and enable new applications.
Please see my personal teaching pages.

Student Consultation

I will endeavour to keep 2-3pm Mondays and 1-2pm Thursdays free and be in my office if you want to drop in. However, I am available to meet students most weekdays, so please do email me and arrange a time for anything urgent.
