Examination

I have examined doctorates at:

University of Nottingham
University of North Carolina Chapel-Hill
EPFL
Chalmers University
Imperial College London

Other Reviewing

I have reviewed project proposals for the US, Canada, Sweden, Hong-Kong, The Netherlands, Austria, South Africa, Spain and Switzerland. I am on the 2003-2006 and 2006-2009 EPSRC Peer Colleges. I have been on panels for EPSRC, DTI and ESRC.

Other Activities

I am on the IEEE Visualisation and Graphics Technical Committee

I gave the keynote speech at IEEE DS-RT 2004 in Budapest, Hungary

I gave the keynote speech at IPT and EGVE 2005 in Aalborg, Denmark.

A while ago I was on and then chaired the Technical Advisory Board of the Web3D Consortium. I was involved in the standardisation of VRML97 and some of the work for recommendations to extend the standard.

Apart from academic output, some collaborations have led to publically displayed works.

The Drift Table, was designed by Andy Boucher and Bill Gaver at the RCA. I wrote the software and helped with the design of the interface. A Drift Table was displayed in Tate Britain in summer 2005 in a studio associated with the exhibition A Picture of Britain. The Drift Table is now touring, and has been to the V&A and the Kulturhuset in Stockholm. A Drift Table has recently been purchased for Tate Britain's permanent collection.
Collaboration with Jon Fawcett on creating architectural visualisations for his exhibition at the RCA.
Thrill Laboratory at the Dana Centre October 2006.

Personal

I'm interested in designing and solving mechanical puzzles. I'm particularly interested in difficulty; how difficult puzzles are, and in what ways they can be made difficult other than by combinatorial complexity or obfuscation. I own rather a lot of examples; if you are interested I have a few favourites in my office.

I like to climb mountains. Especially South American or Scottish ones.

I also provide a home for a translation of Hans Paasche's Lukanga Mukara. I didn't do the translation. I originally put up this page up in about 1995 for a friend whom I've subsequently lost contact with.
