Computer Science, Faculty of Science & Engineering
Associate Professor
Science and Engineering Associate Dean of Teaching and Learning
Biography
Dr. John G. Keating studied Experimental Physics and Mathematics, and completed his PhD in Atmospheric Physics in 1990 (at Maynooth University). He completed his research EdD degree in Science Learning and Applied Linguistics in 2014, and an MEd degree in 2006, both with the Open University (UK). He joined the Department of Computer Science at NUI Maynooth in 1990, and is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Computer Science. He was a co-founder (with Prof. Margaret Kelleher) of Maynooth University’s former arts and humanities Institute, An Foras Feasa, and served as Associate Director, and later as Acting Director, while on secondment from the Computer Science department.
His early research interests included research in STEM, i.e. Atmospheric Dynamics,
Signal Processing, Chaos and Watermarking, and Artificial Neural Networks.
Currently his research is focussed on the intersection of Educational Technology, Digital Humanities, Interaction Design and User Experience, and Linguistic Analytical Methods, particularly in the areas of Collaborative Learning, and Science Learning. He is particularly interested in Collaborative Annotation in Online Learning Environments, together with Systemic Functional Linguistic motivated analyses of Online Collaborative Discourse in Learning Environments, and this will be the primary focus of his research between 2020 and 2025.
