Biography
Ross Moore followed up his undergraduate studies, in mathematics and theoretical physics at the University of Melbourne, with postgraduate work at Oxford University, supported by an "Exhibition of 1851" scholarship. After qualifying for a DPhil, Ross returned to Australia, doing post-doctoral work at the ANU for 5 years before moving to Macquarie University in 1986, where he is now a Senior Lecturer. As well as pursuing research in algebraic geometry, Ross has made significant contributions to mathematical typesetting and typography, by devising ways to easily encode the features of complicated mathematical diagrams and figures, for reproduction on the printed page and electronically for websites. He has been on the Board of Directors for the TeX User's Group (TUG) since 1997, and is webmaster for both the Australian Mathematical Society and the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. When away from a computer screen, Ross enjoys good wine, fine music, contract bridge and tennis.
