Mixed Reality Laboratory

BA (Cambridge), PhD (Nottingham).

Professor.

Chris Greenhalgh has been a lecturer in the School of Computer Science and IT at the University of Nottingham since 1996. He is the creator of the MASSIVE-1, MASSIVE-2 and MASSIVE-3 multi-user distributed virtual reality systems.

He gained a first class BA (with distinction) in Electrical and Information Sciences from Cambridge University in 1991. He then worked in the data communications group at the GEC Hirst Research Centre for two years before moving to Nottingham, where he gained a PhD for his work with large scale collaborative virtual environments in 1997. His thesis was a winner of the 1998 BCS/CPHC Distinguished Dissertations in Computer Science competition, and has been published by Springer.

Research Interests

Distributed systems support for multi-user interactive applications. He is currently driving the development of the Equator Integrated Platform (EQUIP), the Equator IRC's adaptive software architecture for ubiquitous computing and mobile applications. Its second version (EQUIP2), released in 2006, has already been used to support several public performances, experiences and trials across a number of research projects. He is technical director of the Digital Records for e-Social Science node of the National Centre for e-Social Science, with overall responsibility for the Digital Replay System (DRS) analysis tool (formerly known as Replay tool). He has been the primary architect of three generations of the MASSIVE Collaborative Virtual Environment system; these have underpinned many EPSRC and European projects. He won a CPHC/BCS Distinguished Dissertation Award in 1998. He has contributed to the architecture and development of the EPSRC funded myGRID e-science pilot project and to a range of e-science infrastructures that link mobile and ubiquitous devices with underlying grid architectures.
