- He works in various areas of information systems, with an interdisciplinary interest in the ontological, technical, human and social issues, and he found Dooyeweerd's philosophy is very appropriate to addressing such issues. Information systems is his work, at the Information Systems Institute, at the University of Salford, U.K.
