Interests
My research interests are in programming methodology—that is, in better languages for writing computer programs, and better ways of using the languages we already have. I am particularly concerned with functional languages (which emphasize computing with values rather than with actions) and object-oriented languages (which encourage program structures that reflect the structure of the real-world entities they are modelling), and with ways of expressing and reasoning about recurring patterns in software structure.
I am a member of the Algebra of Programming research group, and chair of IFIP Working Group 2.1 on Algorithmic Languages and Calculi. I am an editor of the Journal of Functional Programming, with special responsibility for the Functional Pearls section; do consider submitting a paper! For the academic year 2010–2011 I am on sabbatical; read about my sabbatical project on my blog.
I am also a member of the Software Engineering research group, working particularly with Jim Davies on semantic modelling and model-driven development. We've been developing techniques and tools to support scientists in sharing data—particularly in clinical trials, but also in electronic government.
I get dozens of requests for internships, but I'm afraid that I have neither the time nor the resources to host these.
Biography
I am deputy director of the part-time professional Software Engineering Programme; for the academic years 2008-2010 was also Deputy Director of the Computing Laboratory (now Department of Computer Science). I am a fellow of Kellogg College. Before taking up this post in 1999, I held lectureships at Oxford Brookes University and the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
