I joined (or rather re-joined) the School of Computing at the University of Leeds in July 2007, as a Reader.
Immediately before that, from 2004, I worked at
at
Cork Constraint Computation Centre,
University College Cork, Ireland.
Research Interests
My research interests are principally in:
- constraint satisfaction problems and how to solve them;
- modelling problems in constraint programming, including issues such as
choosing between alternative models, dealing with
symmetry, adding implied constraints, choosing heuristics;
- practical applications of constraint programming.
Graceful graphs: as part of joint work with Karen Petrie on dealing with symmetry in CSPs, we studied the gracefulness of several classes of graph. The link leads to a summary of our results up to January 2003.
A list of recent publications and reports, some available to download.
A few recent talks on constraint programming and modelling.
Present and past PhD students that I have supervised.
Links & Events for Constraint Programming Researchers
Useful links, recent workshops, forthcoming conferences.
