He was assistant to the Directing Professor, P. Allen, at the Institute for Ecotechnological Research at Cranfield University. He is the co-author of several scientific papers on dynamical systems theory with Prof Allen.[2]
He worked on super computers at NASA's Goddard Jet Propulsion Lab, Washington, D.C., USA, and at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, Oxon, UK.
He has published papers on Autism with Dr. Dinah Murray [3] with whom he co-founded Autism and Computing, a non-profit organization.
