Russell Beale

My interests range broadly across the border between interactive systems and society, with a particular focus on using artificial intelligence in interactive systems, usability and design.

The HCI Centre at the University of Birmingham exists to promote leading-edge research and development in theories, designs, methodologies, and systems to support people interacting with technology in whatever they want to achieve.

The group acts as a focal point for research, development and expertise in anything that has the user at the core. This includes:

• Theories of interaction
• Design
• Usability
• Mobile and pervasive computing
• Intelligent agents
• Supporting behaviour change
• e-learning and HCI education
