Current Interests

I am a member of the Knowledge-Based Systems research group. My particular interests lie in the areas of machine learning and knowledge base refinement.

On the teaching side, I have in the past been involved with teaching Java, Delphi, Multi-Media and Web Technologies.

I am currently teaching the relational databases module on the MSc Computing Software Technology course, and a search-based AI module for various undergraduate courses.

I'm also the co-ordinator for MSc Projects and MSc Projects (online)

Recent History

4/97 - 1/01: Research Fellow on the Krustworks project at the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences of the Robert Gordon University. This project generalised the KRUST knowledge refinement tool to produce the Krustworks toolkit. The toolkit is able to generate individual KrustTools, each customised to a particular environment and application.
9/94 - 3/97: Research Student at the same institution supervised by Susan Craw, and continuing the work on knowledge refinement which I started at Aberdeen University. This consisted of generalising and improving the KRUST program and applying it to a tablet formulation expert system. I completed my PhD in February 1998.
9/93 - 8/94: Research Fellow at the Computing Science Dept of Aberdeen University , working on knowledge refinement within the ESPRIT ViVa project, and living in room 215 on the C floor of the Meston Building)
9/86 - 7/93: A member of staff at the Turing Institute (motto: eadem mutata resurgo) and hence also of Strathclyde University. My interests were primarily in machine learning. I also lectured on Prolog for the MSc course at Strathclyde.
