Dr Mark Lochrie
Lecturer in Computer Science
Mark is a Lecturer in Computer Science, specialising in Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design and User Experience. His teaching includes Mobile and Web Application Development, User Experience, and the Internet of Things, closely aligned with his research interests.
His work explores the intersection of objects, people and interactions, focusing on creating meaningful experiences shaped through both physical and digital materials. This is particularly situated within the domain of the digital public space, where he develops physical and digital installations and artefacts to support engagement with cultural and archival content.
Mark views digital technology as both tangible and invisible, something that crosses boundaries and is limited only by creativity, innovation and imagination. His work is grounded in human-centred design frameworks, with a strong focus on people, process and prototyping.
His research spans a range of emerging technologies applied across different environments, from rethinking how audiences consume news to designing future-facing experiences in museums, art galleries and libraries.
