RCUK Academic Fellow in Complex Systems
Research interests
- Systems and synthetic biology
- Computational intelligence and machine learning
- Molecular biology of Bacillus subtilis
I am a researcher in the School of Computing Science at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. I have a backgroud in both molecular biology and computing science, and am interested in the interface between the two. I am particularly interested in the use of computational intelligence techniques to design synthetic genetic circuits. Our group has laboratory space in the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology, where our designs can be implemented in our favourite organism, Bacillus subtilis.
