Dr Mick Baldwin

IT Demonstrator and Statistics Advisor

I gained my first degree in Maths/Physics at Luton (when it was still a College of Higher Education) in 1986. For the next few years, I was involved in software development for a number of companies. During this time, I also spent several years as a volunteer drug counsellor for Luton Drugline.

I gained a Masters Degree in Software Engineering at the University of Luton in 1995 and spent several years working as a visiting lecturer in the Computing Department. During this time, I also worked as a research scientist at Silsoe Agricultural Research Institute, developing software for a robotic mushroom harvester.

I joined the Psychology Department in 1998, initially as Technical Officer and have been in my current position since 2006. During this time, I have also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology with the Open University and a PhD with the University of Bedfordshire on the relationship between consciousness and attention.
