For more general information about me and what I do, you should look at my home page and/or my CV.
If you want/need to see me in person, it would be a good idea to check my timetable first.
For an outline of what UG/MSc projects I might be prepared to supervise, I have a separate page dedicated to student projects.
The following research students have completed their PhD under my supervision: Andrew Fielder, Mark Rowan, Victor Landassuri-Moreno, Abel Garcia-Najera, Andrea Soltoggio, Philipp Rohlfshagen, Chris Bowers and Jose Sanchez. If you think you might be interested in doing a PhD with me as your supervisor, then feel free to email me about it. The School web-site has full details of our post-graduate research opportunities.
My main current administration duties involve being: Elected member of the School's Staffing Committee, and Member of the School's Quality Assurance Committee, Admissions Team and Research Students Monitoring Group.
I am also Deputy Director and on the Management Board of CERCIA (The Centre of Excellence for Research in Computational Intelligence and Applications).
