Nick Taylor is a research associate in Culture Lab, researching the use of technology to support communities. This includes both the development of novel technologies to support social interactions in news ways and studying behaviours around these technologies. He is especially interested in the use of prototypes deployed 'in the wild' to capture real usage over prolonged periods of time and participatory approaches to engage communities in developing technologies. He received his PhD from Lancaster University.
