I am Reader in Computer Science here at the University of Edinburgh. My first degree was in Mathematics, from Cambridge, and after doing the conversion Diploma in Computer Science, I came to Edinburgh for my Ph.D. After completing this, I was a postdoc for a couple of years, and since 1992 I've been on the teaching staff. From 1997 to 2002, I was an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow.

Miscellaneous things

• Also on my personal site, a Unix driver (from PPM files) for the Citizen, Alps and Oki MicroDry printers. This is in development.
• I have a couple of fonts defined with Metafont for use with TeX; they are a little font containing the extra letters used for Old English text; Tolkien's tengwar and cirth; sans-serif math italic for Computer Modern.
• The file rule.tex contains TeX macros which can be used to set proof trees (that grow downwards). You probably don't want to use them, since there must be dozens of LaTeX packages to do the task better.
• Little things for Emacs. The only non-obsolete thing there is a little hack for highlighting messages in VM.
