Interests

David Johnson is a postdoctoral research assistant at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. His research interests centre on interfacing methods in computer science and software engineering with traditionally non-computing disciplines. David currently works on the European Commission Seventh Framework 'Transatlantic Tumor Model Repositories' project that aims to create a European clinically-oriented semantic-layered cancer digital model repository. His main contribution to the project will be the development of a markup language for describing cancer models and supporting software tools.

Biography

Born and raised in British Hong Kong, David came to the United Kingdom in 1998 to study computer science at the University of Reading. After completing BSc (Hons) and MSc (Dist) degrees, in 2003 he started life as a doctoral student investigating the challenges of engineering software to support cooperative work. From 2007 David worked on the European Commission Sixth Framework 'g-Eclipse' project developing a scientific desktop workbench for accessing Grid, Cloud and High Performance Computing resources. In 2009 he moved on to briefly work in Professor Mark Pagel's Evolutionary Biology Group making supercomputing resources more accessible for phylogenetics research, before being recruited to the Computing Laboratory in 2010. David is a member of the ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.
