Matthew Whyndham Research activities [ Publications ] [ Double Loop : “Learning, Knowledge, Research, Management, Media and Minds” ] Double Loop is my blog concerned with academic teaching, e-learning and associated new media developments, and the application of emerging and existing tools to the management of innovative technology development.  [ Technology Management Group ] The Group is concerned with the development, management and exploitation of technology within an enterprise context, and carries out reseach, teaching and consultancy in relevant areas. It also supports, by applying this knowledge, projects and activities in MSSL, other UCL departments, associated institutions and partner companies. [ SOHO-CDS ] [ Yohkoh-BCS & ReSIK ] [ Other ]
