Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Cyber Security Project: Trusted Data Governance Digital Media & Games Project: Interactive Visualisation Solutions for Decision Support Tool Applications My main current professional interest is applying my knowledge and expertise of games-based interactive visualisation technology. Problems with arising from inadequate stakeholder engagement due to lack of proper visual communication can cause delays in the construction industry for example. The application of my research is used in order to help solve real world sustainability assessment, land use planning, energy modelling and construction problems. This research project has involved the creation of a novel and patented information architecture which supports a trusted, robust and scaleable system which fully defines the trust levels involved in information sharing across large-scale infrastructures. This is especially applicable into information sharing across the public sector, which community partners can share information on a range of risks.

I am also working on utilizing an intelligent mathematical method (PDE methdo) for 3D objects modelling and representation. Dr Eyad Elyan Robert Gordon University Project: Emergent Narrative Visualisation Tool The advent of mobile platforms and pervasive environments offers new computational resources for the creation of interactive drama whether for entertainment, education or art. This could lay the basis for transformative change through new immersive media, computer game genres, art works and educational approaches. Our approach aims to reach out to creative industries in Scotland toward flexible interactive narrative structures. Dr Sandy Louchart Heriot-Watt University
