Top SchoolChristopher Bull is a Lecturer in Digital Health and Software Engineering with 11 years’ experience building and evaluating secure health informatics platforms that span from smart apartments to city-scale deployments. Based at Newcastle University’s Open Lab, he blends HCI, IoT and mobile sensing to identify digital endpoints and biomarkers—currently leading a work package on fatigue detection for the IDEA-FAST project. His PhD translated studio-based, project-led pedagogy into software engineering education, seeding Lancaster’s software engineering studio and championing cross-discipline collaboration and reflective practice. Christopher combines hands-on platform engineering and co-design with ethic-focused mixed-methods research, aiming to make assistive and diagnostic technologies practical for healthy ageing, mental health and clinical workflows.

ChristopherBull/Clear-Links
May 2016 - Aug 2016
A Chrome extension that shows web links' destination in a customisable tooltip, particularly highlighting a link's domain and thus enabling more transparent links and improving explicit awareness of web navigation. One potential use case is to make users more easily aware of phishing emails by making it more user-friendly to see a link's destination domain and allowing the user to determine if the destination is as expected.
