Biography and Research Interests
I work on the GridQTL project (www.gridqtl.org.uk), together with the Roslyn Institute and Edinburgh University, providing high performance QTL analyses via the Grid.

After graduating with a PhD in Physics from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne in 1992 I worked as a software engineer for a large oil services company in Oxfordshire. After moving to Scotland in 1999 I had a number of roles in small technology companies within the oil, medical and financial sectors. I took time out in 2003/4 to study for an MSc in Informatics with Bioinformatics specialism at the University of Edinburgh before joining NeSC in 2004.
