A British computer scientist, my work in Theoretical Computer Science focusses mainly on hypercomputation theory,[1] but I have also published academic work in macroeconomic forecasting,[2] concurrency theory,[3] software testing,[4] and the theory of X-machines.[5] Since January 2009, I have held a Senior Lectureship in Computer Science at Sheffield University, and formerly served on both the management committee of BCS-FACS, and the Computer Science committee of the London Mathematical Society. I am Principal Investigator on the EPSRC-funded Hypercomputation Research Network,[6] and am associated with the IET/UKCRC Grand Challenge in Computing Research, Journeys in Non-Classical Computation.[7][8] I was coordinator of the UC2009 Hypercomputation Workshop, and am on the Programme Committees of the conferences Unconventional Computing 2010 (Tokyo, June 2010), and Physics and Computation 2010 (Egypt, September 2010). I have been a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Unconventional Computing since 2009.

My current research is heavily influenced by the work of the Budapest Relativity Group in Hungary (comprising Hajnal Andréka, István Németi, and their colleagues): I am attempting to re-interpret the Bidirectional Model (a recent X-Machine model of quantum trajectories, which assumed Euclidean space and time) within a fully General Relativistic spacetime.


Wikipedian Activities

Together with colleagues in the VT (Verification and Testing) Research Group at Sheffield, I am slowly updating/generating a number of Wikipedia pages describing applications of theoretical computer science, including
