My research interests span theory and well-founded applications development across a wide domain, as I prefer to `browse' rather than burrow. I have particular interests in statistical pattern analysis, dynamical systems and nonlinear time series forecasting, and neuromorphically inspired information processing systems.

Current projects include:

  • `topographic' feature extraction by feed-forward networks and links to Sammon mappings and fibre bundle theory.

Tracking, characterisation and model order selection in nonstationary environments.

  • multivariate nonlinear time series analysis in various financial market problems, from Portfolio optimisation to Options pricing and FX trading decisions.
  • theoretical implications of approximating probability distributions from finite data
  • validation and verification of neural networks in embedded systems
  • development of neural networks in cranking calibration and ignition timing in internal combustion engines.
  • introduction of neural network techniques into `soft' sciences such as literary stylometric analysis, and analysing legal documents.
  • EEG signal analysis focussing on the structural characterisation of EEG structure conditional upon mental activity.
