Breathless and Bucking Bronco Adaptive Ride Experiment No.1 feature in this award winning article in the Communications of Association for Computing Machinery. My colleagues and I discuss why interaction needn’t be a pleasurable experience to be a rewarding experience.

I am excited, humbled and honoured to announce tha I am excited, humbled and honoured to announce that I was invited to speak in Westminster today.

In my allotted 30 minutes, I spoke about the importance of Physics in the Creative Industries, and the role education plays in inspiring the next generation of creative young minds. I then took some insightful questions from the floor, followed by photo sessions in the lobby with fan-boy delegates (one of whom was very excited to finally meet me, after seeing me with Dick and Dom on telly when he was little).

After taking my leave, I walked 700m down the road to check the time on this impressive big clock.

Thanks to @educationinaction for inviting me to speak at today's session at The Emmanuel Centre, which focussed on Physics at Further Education level.

And a massive thank you to the hundreds of fantastic students who whooped and hollered in all the right places 🤗

An informative article (𝚊̲̲𝚛̲̲𝚝̲̲𝚒̲̲𝚌̲̲𝚕̲̲𝚎̲ ̲𝚕̲̲𝚒̲̲𝚗̲̲𝚔̲ ̲𝚒̲̲𝚗̲ ̲𝚝̲̲𝚑̲̲𝚎̲ ̲𝚋̲̲𝚒̲̲𝚘̲) in @the-royal-academy-of-engineering #Ingenia magazine. It was great to be interviewed about how trends in technology and engineering are opening up new avenues for creative exploration - experiential in particular.
