Dr Joel Pinney
Lecturer in Computer Science
Cardiff School of Technologies
Overview
Joel obtained his BSc (2019) and MPhil (2020) from Cardiff Metropolitan University before proceeding to commence on a PhD through a KESS2 scholarship. Joel was an Associate Tutor for two years at Cardiff Metropolitan University before gaining his lectureship. His research interest focuses on the multi-disciplinary field of Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI). In particular, his research investigates how we can apply aesthetics to visualise uncertainties more intuitively in data visualisations for a lay audience. Joel is particularly interested in how technology is designed for creating engaging and inclusive experiences.
