A brief autobiography
Born 06/11/64 in Macclesfield,
England. Educated at King's School
Macclesfield (1974-83), New
College Oxford (Mathematics BA
First Class 1987) and the [then] Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science of the University of Dundee (PhD 1992,
supervisor Prof. Roger Fletcher).
Employed by the University of Dundee as a research assistant (1988-90)
and then by the University of
Edinburgh in the School of
Mathematics as a lecturer (1990-date). I have lived with Agnès
Guyon since 1989. On 17th May 2000 we were joined by
Lucie. We were married on 21st July 2001 and
Katya was born on 4th April 2003.
Professional activities
My research interests are the development
of algorithmic and computational techniques for solving large scale
linear programming (LP) problems using the revised simplex method on
both serial and parallel computers. A consequential research interest
is the application of these techniques in other areas of computational
optimization and linear algebra.
I was awarded the prize for the best paper of
2005 in Computational Optimization and Applications.
I teach linear
programming, numerical analysis and modelling using Xpress-MP.
Leisure activities
I am a reformed peak-bagger who used to go climbing. Orienteering has also been added to the
list of activities that I used to do. Fortunately I can still find
time to go hill running and am a member
of Penicuik Harriers. I am webmaster for the Penicuik Community Development
Trust.
