Academic and Research Information

Brief Biography

I graduated from Leicester in 2004 with a BSc in Computer Science. I stayed on to do an MSc in Software Engineering for the e-Economy (now rebranded as MSc in Advanced Software Engineering). I am now studying for a PhD at the same institution.

Research Interests

  • Service-oriented Architecture;
  • End-user policies (similar to those already used in telecommunications);
  • Workflows and Business Process Modelling.

Talks

Here is a selection of (short) talks that I have given:

  • Internal Seminar (March 2006) (slides);
  • BCTCS 2006 (slides);
  • Internal Seminar (October 2006) (slides);
  • LA-Web 2006 (slides);
  • Upgrading the Web: Software Services (a talk given at the CS Dept's 25th anniversary celebration) (slides);.

Other Information

Holy Trinity

I am Christian and go to Holy Trinity church on Regent Road, just down the road from the university. If you want to find out more, please feel free to email me. We often run Alpha courses for people who have questions about life. If you would like to know more, please email me again.
