I'm a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester.
I'm supervised by Jim Garside and Steve Furber; my work looks at high-level abstractions for specifying, modelling and synthesising circuits with heterogeneous timing paradigms. It's very early days!
Biography
I gained a BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Newcastle University in 2012, and then moved to Manchester.
My final year undergraduate project (supervised by Terrence Mak) was published as Large-Scale On-Chip Dynamic Programming Network Inferences using Moderated Inter-Core Communication , and I won the "Microelectronics Award" from Newcastle University for the work.
I won the 2011/2012 IET North East Region Student Poster Competition (Talk Section) against representatives of Northumbria University and the University of Durham.
TeX / LaTeX / TikZ
I gave (and will probably give again) an introductory talk on TikZ, a graphics and diagrams package for LaTeX. The slides, notes and source for which are available online.
I maintain an Unofficial Beamer Theme for the University of Manchester, which matches (closely) the official PowerPoint theme. There's an installation guide here.
Elsewhere Online
I (occasionally) blog on the themes of programming, TeX and TikZ; which may be of interest.
As a cyclist, you can also find me on Strava, where I do not look fast or skilled.
