I'm a Chancellor's Fellow and Lecturer (Assistant Professor, more or less) in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Strathclyde. Before coming to Strathclyde, I worked at the Centre for mathematical modelling of infectious disease at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and before that I spent many happy years at the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh where I am still an honorary member of staff.

My work explores the boundaries between art and technology, theory and practice. Most of my scholarly work is in the general area of mathematical modelling of relationships and processes in complex systems. Some notable highlights:

For better or worse, Google does a better job of keeping track of my publications, in areas ranging from epidemics to information theory to linked data and the semantic web, than I do myself.
