On the Internet since 17th May 1994. You wont find me on Facebook, Linked-In or Twitter/X. I live in Leeds, UK.
* My Speaking Clock doesnt actually speak - you have to do the talking yourself. See: Speaking Clock. Unlike the clock on the BBC's web site (see news item here) my clock is accurate!.
This web page will attempt to obtain an accurate time setting from the web server. If this message alters, it has been successful. Your computer's local clock may well be wrong.

Work
I have an MA degree in Maths / Engineering from Cambridge University
and a PhD from the University of Leeds (School of Electronic and Electrical
Engineering). From 2016 to 2020 I was a Senior Research Fellow at the University of
Exeter's Camborne School of Mines (College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences).
See staff profile
if that page still exists. If
not, you might find it in the Internet Archive at the
Wayback
Machine. Im now mostly
retired or, if you like, made redundant when we left the EU, as my research was sponsored by the
European Commission.
Selective lists of my publications are given on my
University of Exeter page, and at
ResearchGate. You can also search the
CREGJ database and take a look at my
Cave Radio web page. If you've come here because of a
professional interest then you will already know my fields of work and that Im available for
consultancy and contract work – Please
