Short history

I enjoy living in the UK but do miss some aspects of Australia, especially the wine! However, you can buy excellent Australian wine from quite a number of sources so there's not much I really have to do without.

I've been here well over 9 years now, and now head up the Web Technologies Lab (see below) and am an Associate Professor (colloquially known in other places as an AsPro).

The Web Technologies Research Laboratory

I head the Web Technologies Research Laboratory officially came into being on 1 Jan 2001 (which was also the centenary of Federation in Australia).
