United Kingdom
His experience with artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms is purely practical and aimed at real problem solving. To date he has solved problems as diverse as advanced materials development & screening (e.g. metal nanoparticles, coatings, catalysts), field trial data (e.g. fuel additive trials), decision algorithms for consumer health monitoring devices and even agricultural predictions (UK poultry production). These data analysis methods may also be used in other, non-technical areas such as sales & marketing (e.g. sales forecasting) and insurance (e.g. classification of claims to detect fraud).
In general he works by first assessing an example data set, under confidentiality agreement, for free to determine the suitability of the analysis. If successful then more detailed analysis can proceed under an agreement. However if not possible there is no fee and hence reduced risk to the client.
Has consulted to a large, well known consumer electronics business for the development of at home lifestyle monitoring devices incorporating neural network architecture to give users advice.Consultation to optimise instrumentation settings on a bioassay reader for a small company using evolutionary algorithms.

Visual Studio Training |
Vendor Selection |
---|
Sourcing of nanoparticle manufacturers of various types. Typically taking an internal specification for a developing product and searching for manufacturers to achieve the specification at scale. |
Marketing Experience |
---|
Knowledge of UK university spin out businesses and aware of potential sources of grants applicable to small businesses. Aware of the solar and renewable energy market. |
Other Relevant Experience |
