About me

I’m a student at Monash University where I’m doing a PhD in computer science, supervised by Kim Marriott and Bernd Meyer. (Well, technically I’m not a student any more since my candidature has lapsed, but it’s still my primary activity.) The tentative title of my thesis is Adaptive diagrams for the web, and it has involved work mainly related to SVG, layout and authoring. Here’s hoping I finish this year and finally get out into the real world!

For a few hours a week I dip my toes into the wide world of web standards, participating in the SVG and Web Applications working groups (mostly the former) at the W3C.

I’m also a committer on the Apache Batik project, which is a Java toolkit for processing SVG in various ways.
