Revision as of 20:46, 23 June 2009

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 am Workshop Coordinator for the UC2009 Hypercomputation Workshop, part of the Unconventional Computing 2009 Conference, to be held in Ponta Delgada (the Azores, Portugal) in September 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.
