Since the completion of the Teraflux project I have moved to Oracle Labs Cambridge.
I worked as a research associate on the TeraFlux project, looking at programming models for combining dataflow and transactional Memory. Within this project I produced a suite of software transactional memories for Scala called Manchester University Transactions for Scala (MUTS) and a Scala based dataflow library called DFScala. I then worked on memory analysis and categorisation of the resulting model. My wider research interests are novel computation models and user friendly programming models.Prior Work
Prior to taking up the post with Teraflux I held a position with Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe working as a Senior Researcher, and a position as a Research Associate and Junior Research Fellow at the Oxford e-Research Centre, Oxford University and Pembroke College, Oxford University respectively. During this time I looked at tooling and programming models for high performance computing on machines ranging from small clusters, to clusters of GPGPU's, to Japan's next generation 10 PFlop super computer. In all cases this work was based on constructing tools and programming constructs/models that made high performance computing more accessible to application scientists in areas ranging from astronomy, to medical imagery to simulating the visual cortex.Papers
