\centerline{RESEARCH INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCE}

\bigskip
\medskip
October 1983 --- January 1988
\smallskip\noindent
Postgraduate research in lattice gauge theory at the University of
Southampton. Studies were made of the finite temperature deconfinement
transitions in 3-dimensional U(1) and SU(2) lattice gauge theories, and of
the behaviour of the lattice photon propagator in Landau gauge across the zero
temperature phase transition of lattice QED. The work was done using
a massively parallel computer, the ICL Distributed Array Processor (DAP).

\bigskip
October 1986 --- September 1987
\smallskip\noindent
Research Assistant in the Physics Department at the University of Southampton,
investigating the applications of transputer arrays to lattice gauge theory
and solid state physics problems. Parallel programs were written for the study
of the abelian lattice Higgs model, the XY model, and the quantum Hall effect,
and run on a 32 transputer Meiko Computing Surface.

\bigskip
October 1987 --- September 1988
\smallskip\noindent
Employed half-time as a Research Assistant at the University of Southampton,
in the Concurrent Computation Group of the Department of Electronics and
Computer Science, and half-time at the south-west regional Transputer Support
Center, a campus affiliated center for teaching and consultancy on parallel
programming using transputer arrays.
Projects included parallel matrix algorithms, porting a sequential FORTRAN
code modeling ocean current flow to a transputer array, writing and modifying
demonstration programs incorporating computer graphics, and helping to set
up and run the Transputer Support Center.

\bigskip
September 1988 --- August 1990
\smallskip\noindent
Research Fellow in the Physics Department at the California
Institute of Technology, working in the Caltech Concurrent Computation Group.
Main areas of study concerned the Monte Carlo simulation of lattice spin
models on large parallel computers.
Investigated cluster algorithms for lattice spin models, in particular the
measurement of their dynamical critical exponents for Potts models.
Implemented a number of different parallel cluster algorithms on distributed
memory parallel computers, including the NCUBE, Symult 2010, Meiko Computing
Surface, AMT DAP, and TMC Connection Machine.

\bigskip
September 1990 --- present
\smallskip
\noindent
Research Fellow in the Physics Department at Syracuse University, associated
with the Northeast Parallel Architecture Center.
My major research interest continues to be the study of cluster algorithms
for spin models using large parallel computers. I am also aiming to study
the phase transitions of the Potts and XY models, and the scaling behavior
of the O(3) model, using these algorithms.
