Matthew Chalmers

University of Glasgow

Matthew Chalmers is a Reader in Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, UK. Previously he worked at Xerox PARC, Xerox EuroPARC, UBS Ubilab and the University of Hokkaido. His work aims to take account of social and perceptual issues both in the design of computer systems, in visualisation, recommender systems and ubiquitous computing, and in the theory of computer science, relating contemporary semiology/philosophy to computational representation. In practice that generally means tracking the use of systems that show a lot of information, and then feeding that tracked data back to people and into systems so that they might adapt with use. He is a Principal Investigator in Equator, involved in collaborative ubicomp systems (e.g. mobile multiplayer games in the Seamful Games project) and related conceptual work. He also works on information visualisation, especially in non-linear multidimensional scaling algorithms and related toolkits and techniques.
