I'm a researcher professor working at the University of Manchester in the Department of Computer Science. I've been working in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D/T1DM) technology since 2018, specifically focusing on glucose and carbohydrate dosing (I'm leaving insulin dosing to the large corporations) and in-silico simulation as applied to the real world. The technology focuses on behavioural (digital) phenotyping assuming that we are habitual (or at least repetitive) and that there is a transitive relationship between blood glucose and behaviour.

All of my work is focused on trying to move research to technology in people's hands as fast as possible which is why I have the Melontech start-up for research prototypes, and an independent side project.

Before my work in T1DM I spent 25 years in accessibility research specifically around profound blindness and the World Wide Web, with some forays into Parkinson's Disease, Autism, and Visual Attention.
