Interests

I'm interested in algorithms and computational complexity. Most of my own research has focused on constraint satisfaction problems.

I'm also interested in computational biology, especially bioinformatics .

I was on the Advisory Board for a project based at Harvard University involving computerisation of medieval music manuscripts (The NEUMES Project) and I worked with Louis Barton and Professor John Caldwell to develop this further, with the help of a grant from the Eduserv Foundation.
