Currently this site is used to host my academic page, and a blog that I wish I updated more often.

I am currently persuing a PhD under the supervision of Professor Xin Yao, in The University of Birmingham’s School of Computer Science.  I am a member of the school’s Natural Computation research group.  I am funded as part of the Market-based Control of Complex Computational Systems project (grant details).  My research focuses on information asymmetry and moral hazard in Double-Auction markets.  As you might imagine, I am therefore interested in reputation systems, particularly those that can be distributed.  I am also interested in analysing the generalisation properties of designed mechanisms, e.g., automated specialists.

Away from my thesis-related research, I have a keen interest in Algorithmic and High-frequency Trading, particularly in algorithms using nature-inspired techniques.  You can find out more by taking a look at my research page, or checking out my publications.
