School of Computing and Mathematics

I obtained my BEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering (Systems) from the University of Sheffield in 2000. In the same year I started my PhD at the University of Plymouth from where I graduated in 2004. My PhD thesis title is "Vision-Based Urban Navigation Procedures for Verbally Instructed Robots". Following that and for the next three years, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow alongside Prof. Ulrich Nehmzow at the University of Essex on a project called RobotMODIC (Robot MODelling Identification and Characterisation). Since 2007, I am a Lecturer at the School of Computing and Mathematics at Keele University.

My research interests lie in fields of robotics, human-computer interaction, computer vision, modelling of complex (non-linear) systems, data mining and effective methods for teaching computer programming. More recently I have become interested in biologically inspired robotics and more particularly with biological mechanisms of navigation.
