About Me
I was a PhD candidate at the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham. Now I am in Istanbul. These are definitions of me. For a more exacting definition, one needs really to examine what one means by definition.
I hail from New Zealand, the exotic locale of Northland. In a different life I attended the psychology and computer science departments at the University of Auckland, worked at Talgentra, and did a year of landscaping labouring. I got an ORS scholarship from the UK government, which pays the difference between international and UK fees, and a scholarship from the School of Computer Science, and support from the CoSy and CogX projects. My supervisor is the distinguished Dr Jeremy Wyatt. My thesis support group consists of the wise Prof John Barnden and the particularly insightful Dr Peter Tiño.
I'm recently married to the wonderful Esra, who comes from the equivalently exotic Izmir. I'm into theatre, literature, cogitating, reading, debating, my family, football, running around like a dork, politics, some things I forgot, cogitating some more, and if it won't cut me up much I'll try it.

VIBRANT RECOMMENDATION: This website was awarded nth prize in School of Computer Science Research Students Webpage Competition 2008, where n is any relatively embarrassing time varying number whose rate of change can only be in the direction of more embarrassing in years to come. An "embarrassing number" is a little like an imaginary number but people can see what you are imagining.
