Research Interests
My research includes.....
My research interests include complexity theory, and modeling complexity theory for socio-technical environments. Specifically, this includes complex mobilities that incorporate mobility flows, dependencies, and informational networks. In particular I focus upon information communication technologies that facilitate social networks, such as the Internet, blogging, and mobile devices.
My research also involves examining physical-digital convergences and how these might impact upon social processes. In this context I focus on developments in pervasive, ubiquitous computing; sensor networks; socio-techno networks; and urban infrastructures.
I am also interested in the digital rendition of identity and the implications of surveillance technologies. In what I have termed 'dark mobilities' I examine how movement constructs and frames social forms and norms. Included here are spaces for civil society as well as social spaces as a controlled medium.
My research also takes into account how the body and mind is a site for physical-digital convergence and how it may act as both a site and facilitator for communication as well as becoming an embedded construct within communication networks.
Finally, I am involved in alternative futures, future scenario building, and forecasting; with particular attention on the convergence of nano-bio-info technologies amid environmental concerns.
