• I got my PhD from the University of Michigan in 1994.
• It was based on a Natural Language Parsing algorithm (Plink).
• I was at the American University of Cairo for 2 years, and did a postdoc at Sheffield for a year (on the General Architictecture for Text Engineering (GATE)).
• I've been here at Middlesex since 1998, and started the AI reading group (now the AI research group) on arriving.
• NLP is now secondary, and my main work is on biologically plausible neural networks.
• I've had PhD students complete in neural nets, conversational systems, information retrieval, dialogue analysis, and the semantic web.
• I've supervised hundreds of MSc and BSc theses in areas including Artificial Life, Categorisation, Games Agents, Genetic Algorithms, and Expert Systems.
• I'm happy to discuss your thesis with you.
