I am a Lecturer in Computer Science with an interest in algorithms for High-Performance Computing on modern shared-memory parallel architectures.

I am the author of mdcore, an Open-Source shared-memory parallel library for Molecular Dynamics and particle-based simulations on shared/distributed-memory architectures, the Cell/BE and CUDA-capable GPUs.

I am also a member of the Chebfun development team, which, in certain topics, usually has a strong influence on the answers I give.
