Dr Peter Phillips, PhD

Biography

Peter is a computer scientist with research interest in novel human computer interaction and medical image computing. His research makes extensive use of eye tracking devices to analyse the visual gaze of observers making diagnostic decisions. He was been involved in national and international collaborations and specialises in gaze tracking for 3D modality interpretation. Peter is involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and is the programme leader for the Healthcare Science Graduate Diploma programme at the University of Cumbria.
