Description
I joined the Department as a Lecturer in 1987 by way of Oxford and
Southampton universities with a brief sojourn at Harwell Laboratories.
My original training was in acoustics and vibration but developed into
control systems and then neural networks and machine learning to which
I have devoted most of my professional attention.
I was promoted
to Reader in Computational Data Modelling in 1998 following which I was
elected by the Faculty of Engineering at Princeton University to a
Visiting Fellowship in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering and to a Fellowship of Butler College. I am a member of the
editorial boards of a number of international journals and have served
on numerous technical committees of the International Federation of
Automatic Control (IFAC) and professional groups of the Institution of
Electrical Engineers (now IET). More recently I was elected to a
Visiting Scholarship at James Cook University.
I have had
numerous industrial collaborations and have delivered industrial short
courses on machine learning as far afield as Johannesburg and have
directed the DepartmentĀ“s MasterĀ“s Training Programme in Control
Systems. Prior to this, I devised, implemented and directed two highly
successful MSc Programmes by distance learning in Hong Kong and
Singapore.
My research work has focused on the application of
systems engineering methods in the biomedical life-sciences and some
has won prizes and has been featured in the national press and
broadcast media.
