I'm interested in algorithms and computational complexity. Most of my own research has focused on constraint satisfaction problems.
I'm also interested in computational biology, especially bioinformatics. I used to be on the Management Committee of Oxford's Doctoral Training Centre for the Life Science Interface. I recently collaborated with the Bacterial Pathogenesis and Functional Genomics Group led by Dr Nigel Saunders in the Dunn School of Pathology, on computational approaches to gene regulation in bacteria. This work was initially supported by a Discipline-Hopping grant from the MRC.
I was on the Advisory Board for a project based at Harvard University involving computerisation of medieval music manuscripts (The NEUMES Project) and I worked with Louis Barton and Professor John Caldwell to develop this further, with the help of a grant from the Eduserv Foundation.
