I am a PhD student here at Warwick working with the Empirical Modelling group. My supervisor is Dr Meurig Beynon. The PhD involves first constructing a prototype-based object-oriented dependency maintenance virtual machine, which will then be embedded into an operating system as well as used for modeling (3D, EM, animation and games). Exploring the capabilities and advantages of this virtual machine in these contexts will consume the second part of the PhD.

Before this I completed a Masters (4-Year MEng) in Computer Science here at Warwick, graduating in 2007.
