My specialism is artificial intelligence and expert systems, although, I am a maths graduate and, for some time after graduation, used my mathematics skills in operational research work. My early experience was working with large companies in mathematical modelling and using, at that time, a PDP 11 computer to do the donkey work. This is why my interests moved towards computing and later, artificial intelligence. From 1987, I became a university lecturer and I taught a broad range of courses including, computer programming, Web programming, Web design, artificial intelligence, expert systems, maths and statistics, and many more. I also had three textbooks published during this time and many journal and conference publications. I obtained my doctorate (PhD) in 2012 in artificial intelligence. My teaching philosophy has always been to ensure the learner enjoys the learning experience. The challenge to the teacher is to find ways of doing this through the subject domain of study.
