      Brief Biography

      I'm originally from North Wales, having lived in Liverpool and Leeds before arriving in Aberdeen in 1988. I obtained my PhD from the University of Leeds for work on blackboard systems. My first three years here in Aberdeen were spent as a postdoctoral Research Fellow. I've been a lecturer since October 1991. This is the view from my office window.

      I was born in Wrexham Maelor General Hospital on August 13, 1963. Most of my family still live in North Wales.
