Associate Professor Department of Computer Science Rhodes University

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.

See more about Raspberry Pi on my research pages.

I’ve written a novel, No Tomorrow, with a climate change theme (available from Amazon).
