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. Consequential research interest is the application of these techniques in other areas of computational optimization and linear algebra.

Born in 1964 and educated at King's School Macclesfield (1974-83). Studied Maths at New College Oxford (1984-87) then Numerical Analysis and Optimization at the University of Dundee (1987-90) under the supervision of Roger Fletcher FRS. Having lived with Agnès Guyon since 1989, we married in 2001 and have daughters Lucie and Katya.
Main research interest is in developing 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.
