profile
Software developer
with particular experience of developing software for
mathematical models and implementation of algorithms. Have
worked with a wide variety of programming languages and
modelling tools. Have developed and programmed algorithms for
digital signal processing, text manipulation, control systems,
optimisation and adaptive processes. Self motivated and
persistent in tackling tasks where there is no initial
indication of the best techniques to apply. Good at keeping to
timescales for tasks which can be planned in detail. Quality of
work guaranteed. Am able to work from home using own
facilities.

M.Sc. project:
Optimisation of a 4-bar linkage used in an
industrial pile fabric machine, using numerical optimisation
techniques.
Ph.D.
and Research Associate Post:
Development of data detection processes for
voice band modems, based on the Viterbi algorithm. The project
involved the development and evaluation of simplified (i.e.
reduced state) variants of the Viterbi Algorithm, by means of
computer simulation. This work contributed to two publications. |
