    Personal profile

    Overview

    I am a Associate Professor and a Deputy Head of Computer Science and Informatics Division in the School of Engineering. I joined LSBU in 2013 while working in the industry as a co-director of a Software Development company QuizSlides Ltd. I teach Computer Science and Informatics subjects, with specialism in Project Management.
    My experience from working in the industry for the past ten years as company co-director, project manager and a software tester has strongly influenced and informed my teaching. It has enabled me to design teaching with the latest industry practices, tools and techniques in mind.

    Research Interests

    In 2010 I took on several full-time internships in the area of web development. I learned about open source technologies and gained valuable experience working as a team manager, software tester and technical copywriter.
    A year later I joined forces with my former LSBU project supervisor Dr Martin Bush and an ex-colleague with whom I had worked on two of my internships; together we developed the online multiple-choice platform QuizSlides.com, which went live in April 2012. I am now a director of the company QuizSlides Ltd. which in addition to having its own product, also offers software development services to clients.
    In terms of research interested, there are two areas:
    One in the area of Educational assessment, in specific in Multiple-choice testing. I am currently a reviewer for the Scimago Q1 journal “Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice”. I delivered presentation at the APT conference at UCL (2019) and delivered workshop at the Digital Exams forum 2019 at Bath University. I also co-authored a paper on the topic of Addressing the Shortcomings of Traditional Multiple-Choice Tests: Subset Selection Without Mark Deductions, that was published in a Scimago Q1 journal.
    My other research interest is in the area of Law & Technology. I set up a join module at L6 with our Law Division in 2018, and since then project managed and quality assured software development of two projects that came about as a result of this module. I also co-authored two book chapters sharing the practices and experience in the area of Law and Technology and our shared LawTech module.
