Author: Helen Sharp
Ph.D
Helen Sharp is Professor of Software Engineering at the Open University. She originally trained as a software engineer and has developed and maintained a variety of software applications for several years, watching the frustration of the systems' users and the clever 'work-arounds' they developed when the delivered systems did not support them. It was this experience that inspired her to investigate HCI, user-centred design, and the other related disciplines that now underpin the field of interaction design. Her research focuses on the intersection between interaction design and software engineering, working closely with practitioners to allow practical impact.
