Dr Russell Lock is a Reader in the Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University, and associate member of the Centre for Information Management.
Following completion of his PhD at Lancaster University, in 2005 Russell moved to St Andrews University, taking a research post on the EPSRC INDEED project. As part of a team of researchers from St Andrews & Edinburgh Russell performed observations of complex socio-technical systems, including the Scottish Elections in 2007, to examine how changes in approach can affect training, trust and problem solving activities. In 2010 Russell took a permanent position as a lecturer at Loughborough University within the department of Computer Science.
His current research interests include socio-technical systems design/modelling/analysis, and sensor data gathering and analysis. The research Russell completes is applied with an emphasis on bridging the gap between academic theory and industrial practice. Along these lines a number of current/recently completed projects are detailed below to give a flavor of the research contribution Russell makes to the Computer Science Department.
