I am currently a Senior Research Associate at Newcastle University at the Northern Institute for Cancer Research in the Molecular Informatics Group and formerly with the High Throughput Technologies Group in the School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials.
My areas of expertise and principal research interests are complex systems and the applications of computational intelligence techniques (e.g. evolutionary algorithms, artificial neural networks and self-organising maps) to problems in the chemical and life sciences.
In particular, I am interested in the potential for solving difficult explanatory modelling and prediction problems (e.g. reverse engineering chemical and biological networks using only time series measurement and little or no a priori knowledge) by fusing computational intelligence methods with traditional modelling and system identification techniques.

GPTIPS is a free Matlab tool for genetic programming. It was designed principally for symbolic regression problems (automatically generating empirical non-linear mathematical models of predictor/response data) but it can be used for more general GP problems too.
You can download a number of papers on genetic programming (GP) by members and former members of the Advanced Process Control Group at the University of Newcastle. That is: myself, Hugo Hiden, Mark Wills, Mark Hinchliffe, Gary Montague, Ben McKay and Mark Porter.
Go here for a list of papers (some of which can be downloaded, some of which can't). The list will be updated as and when I have the time!
