Educational Research with LASAR
I am continuing my collaboration with Reading University and Christchurch University Canterbury in educational research. The project is to develop workshops that have an impact on the way that school students engage with science, the type of people who are involved in it, and the type of problems it can (and cannot) help us with. Preliminary results were presented at BERA 2016 and the book will be out in Autumn 2017.
Much of my time in recent years has been devoted to MATLAB and C programming, computational studies of biological signal processing, and neuromorphic engineering. I have been developing novel approaches to feature extraction and recognition using statistical and information-theoretic approaches.
The latest paper co-authored with colleagues at Plymouth University and MTA Budapest is submitted.
I have recently posted a technical report ► suggesting ways that the techniques I have developed could be applied to image processing.
Older work
SCANDLE ► was an EU funded project that ran until spring 2012 that developed neuromorphic approaches to detection and classification of sound and behaviour.
EmCAP ► finished on a high in 2009. We concentrated in this project on the patterns and rhythms of music.
COLAMN finished in 2010 and was a project I only had a very small part in. It was concerned with the nature of cortical processing, a subject close to my heart (and head).
ALAVLSI ► was the project than funded my PhD. The link to the project website is broken and might never be restored. The project finished in 2005 and the servers hosting the site at ETH Zurich have since suffered a bit of a catastrophe.
