Tim Regan
Senior Research Software Development Engineer
About
I work in Microsoft Research at the lab in Cambridge in the Computer Mediated Living Group and especially the Socio-Digital Systems Group.
My current research interests are information visualization, the future of the book, social software, and mobile media. Before Cambridge I worked in the Social Computing Group in Redmond on aspects of shoulder to shoulder computing – that is building applications for several users to interact with together in the same room. Before that I worked on online virtual worlds, systems architecture, and formal methods at BT Labs. I hold a doctorate in Theoretical Computer Science from The University of Sussex.
