John Paul is originally from London, England but moved to Limerick in 2002.He is in his second year of  Computer Science in UCC and hopes to graduate in 2011. He enjoys playing ultimate frisbee and watching Japanese animation.

John Paul will be working on the project "Environmental monitoring using mobile sensor movement in cities". This project will design a simulator to prove the basic premise that every citizen of a city can be turned into a mobile environmental sensor.

One of John Paul's supervisors is Prof. Paddy Nixon. Prof. Nixon leads the Systems Research Group at University College Dublin supported by a 2.5 million Euro Science Foundation Ireland endowment. Previously he led the Global and Pervasive Computing Group at Strathclyde University and was research Director of the Kelvin Institute. His research interests lie in the areas of Pervasive Computing and with specific emphasis on infrastructure aspects of Distributed Computing, Component Software Engineering, Resource Discovery, Context Adaptive Systems and Mobile Code systems. Prof. Nixon has edited 6 books and over 100 refereed publications in the areas of pervasive computing, distributed systems, software engineering, parallel processing, and object orientation.
