Within the DTC I am a specialist in Geographic Information Science and I have a keen interest in developing new techniques to push the boundaries of student learning through reflection in the field by digital 3D reconstructions. My research interests are centred around teaching and learning through model building in the field using mobile technology. My work encompasses a multitude of different techniques and disciplines including mobile learning, glacial reconstruction, mobile augmented reality and remote data collection. My industrial background includes working in frontline sales for a small Geographic Information consultancy and in spatial analytics whilst working for a large, blue-chip organisation in Nottingham. Since starting my PhD, I have completed an internship at Microsoft Research based in Cambridge, UK. Publications Book Meek, S., FitzGerald, E., Priestnall, G., Sharples, M.
