Biography
Hi, my name is Adrian Clear and I'm a Ph.D. student in the Systems Research Group at UCD Dublin in Ireland. I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science at UCD Dublin in 2005 and since then have been doing a Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Simon Dobson.
I am currently writing my Ph.D. thesis and intend to submit in October, 2009. My research was jointly funded by the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) and IBM, and is now funded by Science Foundation Ireland under grant number 07/CE/I1147, ''Clarity, the Centre for Sensor Web Technologies''.
When I'm not doing research, I like playing (and watching) football, running, hiking, golf, reading, watching movies, listening to music and cooking.

Research
My Ph.D. is focused on designing and engineering context-aware computing systems. Particularly, I'm looking at tools and methodologies that support end-to-end development of these systems.
My research interests include pervasive computing, context-awareness, data aggregation and abstraction, context modelling and semantics, software engineering, information visualisation, human computer interaction and complex adaptive systems.
I am currently writing my Ph.D. thesis and intend to submit in October, 2009. My research was jointly funded by the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) and IBM, and is now funded by Science Foundation Ireland under grant number 07/CE/I1147, ''Clarity, the Centre for Sensor Web Technologies''.
