He is most well-known for his research in human–computer interaction including one of the key textbooks in the area as well as some of the earliest work on privacy, mobile interaction and, in 1992, warning of the danger of gender, ethnic and socio-economic bias in black-box machine learning systems. Recent books have included TouchIT on digital-physical design and several at the intersection between artificial intelligence and human issues. His interests and methods are eclectic including bad ideas in creativity, using genetic algorithms in submarine design, exploring the academic paper as an art form, computational modelling of regret, community heritage, and walking one thousand miles around Wales.
