C.V. - as of Summer 2008 when I began my PhD.

Other group contact details

I am a PhD student at the School Of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, UK. I have been with the APT Group since September 2008, supervised by Steve Furber.

My research is in the area of real-time I/O, including hardware and software metering/monitoring of the SpiNNaker system. I'm particularly interested in creating real-time visualisations of the neural-networks in-flight (e.g. c.f. fMRI).
My interests are probably too wide and varied, and mean that I read far too much, and get too easily distrac....
