Computing
I use Maple for symbolic computation, though have used other symbolic processers in the past. Recently I have been using TVM
/ python for compilation of AI models targeting both x86 & Qualcomm hardware supplemented by C++ with embedded
assembly. I use python and numpy to write tools to support that effort, e.g. to build test frameworks to evaluate accuracy and
performance of model operators - convolutions in particular. In addition I have written in C, Pascal, Modula 2, Fortran, Lisp,
VB.net, and bash, and in assembly for Qualcomm Hexagon HVX & HMX, Intel i860, Motorola 6502, and Zilog Z80. I am
familiar with OpenCV for computer vision, though in the past I have tended to write the required routines by hand. I have mad e
use of several of the routines in SciPy in python, Numerical Recipes in C, and NAG Fortran – though the latter was a while ago.
I am familiar with CICD development cycle, including jira, git, and automated check-in builders and testing.

Employment History
Staff Engineer, AI tools April 2019 – present
Qualcomm Innovation Center, 9600 North Mopac Expressway #900, Austin, TX 78759, USA & Remote
Broadly, I help make pre-trained deep-learning models such as Inception, Resnet, and Mobilenet run faster on Qualcomm
hardware. I worked on integration of Qualcomm’s QNN framework with TVM / python, writing operators and schedules in
TVM, and importing the TVM-compiled code into QNN. More recently I write operators in C++ / assembly tailored to
Qualcomm hardware (specifically: HVX vector / DSP processor, & HMX matrix / convolution pipeline processor) that are
callable from TVM / python. We use git, jira, Atlassian Confluence, and Workfront in a CICD pipeline with check-in builders
and testing. The emphasis is on rapid inference rather than training , though to evaluate performance I also build, train and execute
custom Tensorflow models on Qualcomm hardware via Android. Principle computation tools are Python, TVM, C, C++, asm,
bash scripts, Tensorflow, and some SQL.
Senior Research Physicist October 1997 – December 2018
Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, 11855 Research Boulevard, Austin, TX 78759, USA
IASA was a not-for-profit research institution funded by a private charity in Europe with a mandate to explore novel ideas in
physics. I worked in collaboration with a partner institution in Toronto, performing theoretical and experimental investigations
of variants of standard physical models, primarily Special and General Relativity, and Electrodynamics. Of particular interest
were Direct Particle Interaction / field-free variants of electrodynamics. There was some overlap with GR in part due to post -
recombination EM coupling that theory necessarily entails. I was the PI for a lab experiment to test a variant of Modified
Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), and supervised others performing the numerical analysis. In 2005 Anthony Lasenby (University
of Cambridge, UK) and I were commissioned by Wiley to write a book on Direct Particle Interaction. An outcome of that effort
was the discovery of an EM foundation of Dirac Theory, a summary of which is presently under review at Foundations of Physics.
Please see the list of publications and conference presentations for this and other work undertaken at IASA. Topics include
Cosmological metrics, tensor calculus, functional analysis, Clifford Algebra, Dirac Theory, Cherenkov cones, and spinor
representations of EM fields. Principle computation tools were Maple, C, VBnet, Matlab, Labview, OpenCV and SDL. Principle
mathematical techniques employed include stochastic dynamics; differential and integral tensor calculus on manifolds; coupled
differential systems, Hilbert space representations; functional analysis; Clifford, spinor, and quaternion algebra; other aspects
of linear algebra, including singular-value decomposition.
Visiting Scholar October 1994 – October 1997
PEAR Laboratory, C-131 Engineering Quadrangle, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
My job was to devise new experiments and bring some new ideas for a theoretical underpinning to support the low-level but
statistically significant anomalous correlations (‘PK’) in the data accumulated by the lab. I ran an experiment to investigate the
scaling of the anomalous effect with physical parameters such as the energy and bandwidth of the noise source, and
psychophysical parameters such as the bandwidth of information displayed to the human operators. One of thes e experiments
(see publications list) seemed to confirm the presence of anomalous correlation in manner suggestive of a relation between si gnal
strength and entropy of the noise source. I wrote a desktop application to further test that hypothesis wherein a bit stream from a
quantum random number generator (QRNG) is dynamically mapped onto a variety of visual displays, including some simple
QRNG-modulated video games. Time-critical processes, including on-the-fly statistical analyses of images, made use of SDL
and some OpenCV in a Visual Studio C++ framework wrapped in a GUI front -end written in VB.net. Also, I was advisor to the
Princeton University effort to build a vision-guided autonomous vehicle, which was entered into an annual competition with
vehicles from other universities. Principle computation tool was C, with Intel i860 library calls. Principle mathematical
techniques employed include Bayesian inference, and formal statistical hypothesis testing.
Automatic X-ray image analysis (consultant) May 1991 - July 1994
AGFA-Gevaert, 430 Mechelsesteenweg, B-2520 Edegem, Antwerp, Belgium
I was hired to create a self-contained software system for automatic identification of diagnostically significant parts of X-ray
images acquired by digital radiography (DRI). Automated identification was necessary to render the images effectively, using
the 24 bit dynamic range of DRI to highlight diagnostically useful parts of the image without optical saturation (i.e. human visual
saturation). In the end this involved detecting and removing (ie masking) structures in the images likely to have come from metal
implants. Development was in C on a Unix system, periodically downloaded to a 68000 -based proprietary system. Computation
time constraints necessitated careful allocation of resources to accommodate the relatively primitive hardware of the time. For
reasons to do with licensing and hardware specificity I wrote a library of around 250 common image functions ab initio in C to
perform the low-level processing. At the next level features were extracted and clustered by analysis of variance to form an
abstract network (‘graph’). The graphs were then parsed by a parameterized expert -system type engine attempting to match
various template models that were coded as rules about the image structure. I wrote a tool to train the network by optimization
of the parameters whereby a qualified radiologist would highlight the areas of interest in the training set of images. I also wrote
a stand-alone system to evaluate the performance of trained system, comparing the radiologist (i.e. manually) highlighted parts
of the image with those found automatically. The system was trained to an accuracy of more than 95% according to agreed -upon
metrics, which formed the basis of advertising and sales of the digital radiography station. The system sold for use in hospitals
in Europe and the US. I co-wrote 2 patents that were filed separately in the EU, the US, and Japan for different versions of the
system. Principle computation tool was C on Unix. Mathematical and numerical techniques included model parametrization
and estimation using tools for minimization of a non-linear function of many variables; formal error analysis; general linear
transformations of 2D data - including Fourier transforms for example, and minimax alpha-beta search strategies.
Robot welding with laser stripe illumination (consultant) July 1990 - March 1991
Meta Machines, Davy McKee Engineering, Wallisdown Road, Poole, BH12 5AG, UK
I was hired by Meta Machines to help develop a real-time Modula-2 PC-based laser-based computer vision system for
autonomous robot welding. This involved design of a database of laser-stripe profile models, and writing code to perform image-
processing, segmentation, feature extraction, and model matching to the database. The matched model was used to infer the pose
of the welding arm and guide its motion. Model matching had to be performed in real -time with limited computing resources and
be robust against major geometrical uncertainties and distortions in the stripe profiles. Principle computation tool was Modula2
on a PC. Mathematical techniques in service of 3D model matching to 2D data included model parametrization & regression,
and geometric transformations - including projective geometry.
Research Fellow, Computer Vision Feb. 1989 - July 1990
IBM UK Scientific Center, Athelstan House, St. Clement Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9DR
I was a member of an EU-funded project to perform computer assisted radiology of MR images (COVIRA) within Advanced
Informatics in Medicine (AIM). The main aim of this project was the creation of an automatic diagnostic labeling tool for use
with CT and MR scans. As a team of 3 research fellows and also in collaboration with other members of the project in German y,
Italy, and Spain, we worked on the image segmentation aspect of the problem. We investigated several approaches including
iconic fuzzy sets, a rule based expert system approach, a black -board-style expert system, and a neural-net feature-vector
classifier. The UK team developed a statistical method for the integration of the results of edge detection with polynomial
parametric patch fitting to the image intensity surface, and Gabor filters for texture discrimination and classification. The
algorithm was trained and automatically optimized against a manually -segmented image database. As team leader I was
responsible for the strategy, the co-ordination of effort in our team, and the presentation of results at meetings with our EEC
partners. Our results were competitively evaluated by diagnostic medical experts, who found in favor of our UK effort over
efforts from other countries. Continuing the development I designed and built a topological representation (region -edge-vertex
graph) of the segmented image as a relational data structure using a 'knowledge engineering' AI tool, and developed a statistical
medical knowledge base relating the MR intensities to the tissue types. The analysis system was written C on an RS6000 under
AIX. The topological representation was designed using Intellicorp’s KEE (knowledge engineering environment) and written in
Lisp. Mathematical and numerical techniques included model parametrization and regression, AOV, and likelihood
maximization.
Principal Physicist, Human Bioluminescence Feb. 1987 - Feb. 1989
The Dove Project, 51 Bedford Place, Southampton, Hampshire
The Dove Project was a non-profit research group founded by practicing physicians in London and Southampton UK to study
conjectures about the clinical diagnostic potential of electromagnetic body fields. I joined the group shortly after it had been
granted limited term funding by a UK-based charity. As a team of four we set the goals in agreement with our sponsors, designed
the experiments, procured laboratory equipment, executed the measurements, and wrote reports. Mostly I worked on a system to
measure human bioluminescence using a cooled photomultiplier in a purpose-built dark room. We measured the visible and UV
light from human subjects under various conditions, distinguishing endogenous radiation from background noise at near unity
signal to noise ratio at a flux of the order of 1 photon per cm per second. Principle mathematical techniques included photon
counting statistics.
Senior Principal Engineer - Computer Vision Sept. 1984 - Jan. 1987
Plessey-Siemens Research, Roke Manor, Romsey, Hampshire SO51 0ZN
I was a member of a research team working under a grant from DARPA (US) to develop a vision system for autonomous guidance
of vehicles and a grant from the Alvey commission in the UK to promote ‘third generation computing’. Mostly I worked on
structure from motion and self-motion estimation, primarily from monocular optical flow. Optical flow between consecutive
images from the moving vehicle was determined both from feature matching and space-time intensity gradients. I worked on
coherent multi-frame integration for the construction of a viewpoint-independent region-edge-vertex graph, self-motion
estimation, and motion-induced image de-blurring. Code was written either in Pascal to run on a mainframe, or in a language
specific to an early SIMD array processor. I prepared progress and planning reports for the research program, and presented t he
results of our work at numerous meetings and conferences. I was representati ve for Plessey-Siemens Research in a government
funded initiative on advanced robotics, and wrote an internal report on the future of computer vision in UK manufacturing.
Principle computation tools were FORTRAN and Pascal and a Vicom array processor. Numerical and mathematical techniques
included projective geometry, Bayes reasoning for parameter estimation, and formal error analysis.
