My thesis was about how to design three-dimensional integrated circuit structures. It received the British Computer Society award for best dissertation in 1989, and was published by Cambridge University Press in 1990. I am a member of the Cambridge Meridian Golf Club which is about 5 miles to the west of Cambridge. The course straddles the Greenwich Meridian line of zero longitude, which runs directly along the 14th fairway. The course is one of only three in the United Kingdom with holes in the Eastern and Western hemispheres.
Music is another great interest, particularly classical piano.
I like to travel in The North, and here are a couple of pictures from a recent trip to Nunavut, Northern Canada. Pond Inlet, Baffin Island. In the distance, you can see Bylot Island, home to much wildlife. This area is now a national park. The picture was taken at the end of July 1999, just before the ice breakup was complete.
