Biography

I like doing this. The ANU is an idyllic place to be a researcher, Canberra is a better city to live in than you would believe from listening to Australians from anywhere else, NICTA is the most exciting research lab I know, and I actually get paid for thinking about logic and hacking code! That's as good as it gets.

Other likes: travel, good food (enthusiastic but inexpert cook), classical music (ditto pianist).
Dislikes: no really interesting ones (sorry).
