An academic is often benchmarked against other academics in
other organisations by their publication record, their peer review activities,
and their research income generation. Thus my CV is biased towards this. The following
gives a summary of the work I am currently involved in. If you wish a fuller account,
please contact me, and I'll try and outline some of the other things that I am
interested in, and developing. It defines many of my mechanistic details, and
does not outline any of my achieved which are not related to publishing. A CV
is often an archive and illustrates past achievements, and does not really cover
the present, and the future. It's strange in computing that job functions are
often selected in terms of a CV, rather that in terms of a portfolio of work.
