©2010 Masood Masoodian     Department of Computer Science, The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand: Feb 2002 - present Senior Lecturer Teaching and research Feb 2000 - 2002 Lecturer Teaching and research Natural Interactive Systems Laboratory, Odense University, Odense, Denmark: Sep 1997 - Jan 2000 Assistant Professor During this period I was doing research for an Esprit Long-Term project, called Magic Lounge. The aim of the Magic Lounge project was to design and implement a virtual meeting environment which would provide the necessary tools for communication and interaction needs of geographically separated individuals using heterogeneous devices such as PCs, PDAs, Palmtops, and mobile telephones. Within this project, I was working on the design, implementation, and user evaluation of the Magic Lounge software. In particular, I was involved in the development of a shared collaboration and communication tool called MagicBoard. In terms of teaching, I developed and delivered a course in HCI at the postgraduate level. The course introduced the main components of HCI, covering topics such as the human and technological aspects, interaction design, and user evaluation. Department of Computer Science, The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand: Sep 1996 - Aug 1997 Research Assistant This job involved doing research for a CSCW project, which was externally funded for a period of three years (1995-98). The aim of the project was to design a CSCW-based software development environment. My role in this project was to identify and evaluate currently available Internet-based tools which could provide for some of the CSCW requirements of a software development environment. I was also responsible for the design and implementation of multi-user communication programs using the Java programming language. Jan 1995 - Aug 1996 Graduate Teaching Assistant (8 hours/week) This work involved helping undergraduate students with their practical course assignments in a computing laboratory. The students were required to complete a range of assignments which were designed to teach them how to use various computer applications. Department of Computer Science, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand: Mar 1992 - Dec 1994 Graduate Teaching Assistant (8 hours/week) This worked involved giving tutorials and workshops for a number of undergraduate computer science courses. I was also responsible for the supervision and grading of some of the exams, as well as, marking a series of course assignments. Dec 1992 - Feb 1993 Summer Research Student (full-time) This job involved design and implementation of a compiler to convert computer programs written in Lisp to Hope. The compiler itself was written in Lisp. Mar 1990 - Nov 1991 Sessional Assistant (3 hours/week) This work involved helping first year computer science students with their practical course work in a computing laboratory, as well as, marking their work. Crown Research Institute, Palmerston North, New Zealand: Aug 1988 - Nov 1992 Laboratory Assistant (full-time during university summer and term holidays) This involved doing a range of non-computing research work in agriculture.
