I was working in the computer industry in Germany and Luxembourg for several years.

I obtained a BSc (hons) degree in Computing Science from the University of Wales, Swansea, in 1998. From 1998 to 2001, I was working as a Research Assistant on the EPSRC HFIG project at Glasgow University, while at the same time reading for a PhD in Computing Science. The work performed at Glasgow investigated hybrid approaches to the feature interaction problem, and the thesis presents one such approach. From 2001 to 2003 I worked as a Research Fellow on the ACCENT project at the University of Stirling, investigating policies, emerging features and associated conflict resolution techniques. I was elected Professional Member of the BCS in 2002. Since 2003 I'm a lecturer at the University of Leicester, pursuing research on telecommunication and web services, particularly considering service oriented and reconfigurable systems in the context of rapid market changes and end user requirements. I also pursue an interest in context aware collaboration systems.

I was organiser of BCTCS (British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science) 2001, co-organiser of BCTCS 2004 and co-organiser of FIW (International Feature Interaction Workshop) 2000. I was co-program chair of ICFI 2005.
