I read mathematics at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertford_College,_Oxford Hertford College], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford Oxford], and then in the Sixties became a specialist in artificial intelligence at the [[University of Edinburgh]] under the guidance of [[Donald Michie]]. After four years at the UK [[Atlas Computer Laboratory]], in 1973 I moved to the University of Essex in the Department of Computer Science where I am now an Emeritus Professor. I formally retired in 2001. Throughout my career I have also applied statistical and computer methods in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeology archaeology] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropology anthropology]. From this work arose my present interest in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent-based_model agent-based modelling] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_simulation social simulation]. My publications and projects reflect this mix of research interests.
