Biography
My main research interests are computer architecture, especially understanding industry trends and how to exploit change (e.g., when new form factors become viable), and bioinformatics. I am a member of the Rhodes University Bioinformatics Research Group (RUBi). I am also editor-in-chief of South African Computer Journal. I’ve written two novels, No Tomorrow and The Day it Rained Forever, both with a climate change theme.
