Matthew Eaves has moved on from Ultralab and is now part of Cleveratom Ltd

This webpage remains here historically as it was when Matt was in the lab to remember the work he did when part of the Ultralab team.

Matthew Eaves is a first class graduate with six years experience as a senior researcher, strategic consultant and project manager of groundbreaking projects worldwide for Ultralab, the learning, technology and research centre at Anglia Ruskin University.

My main focus of interest is the use of technology for creative purpose, and I now work on a range of learning, technology and research projects worldwide for charities, corporations, governments, broadcasters, museums and education institutions to research and enrich learning. At Ultralab we are empowering people with new and emerging technologies for creative purpose, we're changing the world together and I'm proud to be a part of that.

I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, uniting through technology, including work in Belfast, Northern Ireland as part of Ultralab’s commitment to supporting the empowering of conflicting communities with creative technology at as catalyst to bring people together.

I've worked on major action research projects ranging from finding the future of Children's BBC television right through to making the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) cool in the eyes of young people. I've done voice overs for new language materials right through to co-organising and running events with hundreds of people, I love every minute and enjoy the challenge of not knowing what's coming next, every day is bizarre at Ultralab.

Prior to working at Ultralab, and while studying full time I also worked as a youth worker for twelve years and managed the checkout department for a major supermarket in the evenings and weekends.

I graduated with experience researching organisational and systems needs, taking a specific interest in how systems could be used to reduce bureaucracy and administrative processes within organisaitons. My final dissertation researched and replaced paper based administration system within a national UK youth movement, the system developed to complement the research is still in use throughout the UK to this day.
