Biography
Joined the university in 1977, working first in musical acoustics, then with medical ultrasonics and later in the setting up of a new undergraduate course in Physics with Microcomputing.
Appointed a lecturer in 1985, with research interests in image reconstruction and processing (including the automatic recognition of musical scores for the music publishing industry) and later in parallel processing. Started the SToMP project 1992 (Software Teaching of Modular Physics) with funding from the Higher Education Funding Councils.
