I am a Reader in Computer Science at Aston University, having been appointed in 1999 after undertaking a postdoc in the Neural Computing Research Group exploring the application of neural network methods to remote sensing problems. Prior to that I completed a PhD at Birmingham University on the application of spatial statistics to road weather climate modelling.
At present I teach an MSc module on Sensing Informatics. I also supervise a number of final year individual projects. I am also the final year tutor to Combined Honours Computer Science students.
My particular research interests focus on data assimilation in a Bayesian context (from optimal interpolation to particle filters and variational methods), the links between models and observation (via their combined relation to reality) and the different analysis paradigms, observation models, geostatistics, nowcasting, representation of spatial data / models (web based including GML), object oriented approaches to modelling large complex systems and visualisation. I supervise PhD students and run several research projects, including industrial collaborations.
