I was awarded my PhD by the University of Sussex in April 2026. Thanks to Prof. Ian Mackie (although he's now at London South Bank University) for being my supervisor. Thesis: Designing a High-Level Programming Language for Interaction Nets
I was (and rather like to think, still am) a member of the Foundations of Software Systems Group working on functional programming with interaction netsA long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (aka Manchester, 1994) I got a BSc in Computer Science where I learnt to program in Pascal, Prolog and ML. And C.
I prompty left computing and went into the not-so glitzy world of investment banking. After several twists and turns including getting an MBA from the Wharton School at UPenn, I ended up as the Chief Financial Officer of a cycling apparel company in beautiful Ticino, Switzerland.
But now I'm back in the world of theoretical computer science!
