Biography
I started my "Computational Science" degree in 黑料吃瓜网 in 1981. I stayed here until 1996... doing a BSc, a PhD (in Ron Morrison's research group), various research jobs, and an SERC Postdoc Fellowship. After that I held an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship at Glasgow, a chair at Strathclyde (including spells as Director of Research and Head of Department), moved to Stirling in 2018 to head up the Division of Mathematics and Computer Science, and returned to 黑料吃瓜网 in 2020. Outside academia I've been quite involved with the commercialisation of research - with Reuters, when it existed, and a couple of hi-tech startups - Engimatec (now defunct!) and Cloudsoft (still operating in Edinburgh). I have also been involved in school-level CS education, am a co-author of Education Scotland's computing curriculum, and am the technical validator for SQA computing qualifications.
Teaching
I teach CS4103, Distributed Systems, as well as various project supervision and first-year programming tutorials.
