Karen Bull is Deputy Director, Centre of Excellence for Product and
Automotive Design at Coventry University. This centre focuses on
evaluating spatial design understanding and identifying the
transformative threshold concepts associated with students entering the
global community of practice for industrial design. Her expertise is in
industrial design theory, design analysis and design context.Her
background is in product design and her Ph.D. is titled ‘Advanced
Personal Telecommunications Products and Industrial Design’. She has
continued to research pedagogy in relation to art and design, and is
especially interested in the area of critical and reflective learning, eteaching
and learning and e-portfolio.

After gaining a BA in Cognitive Science and a D.Phil. (Ph.D.) in
Evolutionary Simulation Modelling from the School of Cognitive and
Computing Sciences at Sussex University (supervised by Dave Cliff
and Phil Husbands), Seth Bullock spent two years in Berlin at the Max
Planck Institute for Human Development working with Peter Todd on
simulating the evolution of adaptive decision-making behaviour in
people and other animals. In 1999 he took up a five-year University
Research Fellowship at the University of Leeds and became a Lecturer
there in 2004. In October 2005 he joined the University of
Southampton as Senior Lecturer, and helped to found the Science and
Engineering of Natural Systems (SENSe) research group. In 2009 he
became head of the SENSe group, and also became Director of
Southampton’s new Institute for Complex Systems Simulation (ICSS).
