Rob Anderson

Senior Research Software Engineer

I have a background in computers and tech, with a special interest in making apps and websites.

I graduated from Newcastle University in Computing Science, doing my dissertation with App Movement. Here I created a new app template that allows anyone to collaboratively design how-to apps and publish them on the App Store, without needing any coding skills.

Away from the Lab, I enjoy designing and making my own games; I’m particularly interested in creating engaging interactions and telling compelling stories.
