Kirsten Cater joined Mobile Bristol in December
2003 under the employment of the University of Bristol. She graduated
with a BSc Hons in Computer Science from the University of Bristol
in 2000. She then went on to do a PhD in the Computer Science Department
at the University, which she completed in June 2004. Her PhD research
entailed using the limits of the human visual system to selectively
render 3D scenes, this method can then be used to produce highly
realistic computer graphical images in real-time.
In Mobile Bristol, she works closely with Jo Reid
on the lifestyles and experience design projects, having run numerous
psychophysical experiments herself in her PhD research. However,
her background in computer science has come in handy when programming
the complex logic needed for the applications, which also test the
capabilities of the Mobile Bristol editor.
When she is not sat in front of a computer she
goes extreme, from bungee jumping 216m, free-falling from 9000ft,
cage diving with great white sharks, mountaineering to flying gliders
and single engine planes. She'll try anything if it gets her adrenaline
flowing!
