about Alan

Filed under: — alan @ 1:30 pm

Alan in Australia I am a computing professor at Birmingham University (form 1st Feb, previously Lancaster) [my academic home page] and researcher at Talis Ltd. and work on most things that connect people and computers. However, I started off (years ago) as mathematician and this is still my academic first love! (read about me at the maths olympiad in 1978)

I also have a big HCI text book (HCI = human computer interaction) and a little AI one (AI = alien intelligence??)

Although I’ve spent a good part of my life in England I am actually a Welshman and have all the nationalism of an ex-pat.  However, I now  live on Tiree, a little island  off the west coast of Scotland.  If you want to come to share the scenery and run a twice yearly event, Tiree Tech Wave, for making and talking abut technology.
