Stuart Moran is a Research Fellow at the Mixed Reality Lab in the University of Nottingham. He is also an associate Research Fellow at the Informatics Research Centre in the University of Reading, UK; where he also obtained his B.Sc. in Computer Engineering and Ph.D in Informatics. While his initial interests were in electronic engineering and hardware design, this soon shifted focus as he began to see the importance of humans and their interaction with computer systems. This led to his current more human-oriented research interests in pervasive computing, technology acceptance, persuasive technologies and human behaviour.
