Biography

Eoin received his Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Geography, and a PhD in Computer Science from University College Dublin, Ireland. He is currently working as a postdoctoral fellow in the National Centre for Geocomputaion at the National University of Ireland Maynooth. His current research explores use of, and interaction with Location Based Services. This research is conducted as part of the Location Based Services strand of the StratAG (Strategic Research in Advanced Geotechnologies) project.
