"Maths stands for mathematical anti-telharsic harfatum septomin." -- Look Around You

Welcome to lanther.co.uk

Welcome to my website. Please feel free to browse at your will, using the menu on your left. The main page below is home to my (long neglected) weblog for those of you that are bored enough to take an interest in what's going on in my life :-).

I'm currently a Principal Scientist at Adobe, working on the architecture for asset management and collaboration in Creative Cloud. Prior to this, I was the lead developer for Creative Cloud Libraries - a revolutionary new way of sharing creative content between different applications, devices, and people. I previously helped to develop Adobe Scout, which was a visual profiler for Flash and AIR applications.

Prior to this, I was a researcher in the Language Based Technology group at the Technical University of Denmark, Copenhagen. I was part of the MT-LAB project, which is a collaboration between DTU, Aalborg University, and ITU, investigating formal verification techniques for advanced software systems. My particular research was concerned with probabilistic and stochastic analysis of distributed systems.

I did my PhD in the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, University of Edinburgh, supervised by Professor Jane Hillston. Previously, I studied at Robinson College, Cambridge. I originate from Bridlington, a little sea-side town on the Yorkshire coast. In the summer of 2005, I was a Senior Technical Associate at Fraser Research, in Princeton, New Jersey.

Non-academically, I've been studying Japanese since January 2006, and I have been playing the fascinating game of Go since September 2006. I was previously the president of the Edinburgh University Go Club, and was a member of the Japan-UK 150 sub-committee for Scotland. My current grade is around 3kyu. Other than that, there's not much else to say. Feel free to enjoy the site!

楽しんでください!

These are really good notes on your site. Were really helpful for my revision so thanks. But in response to the above I have to add, in my native tongue of course,

EU vezetk trgyalnak Brsszelben

Folytatdik az Eurpai Unis llamok vezetinek tallkozja, amelynek kt f clja az Unis alkotmny elfogadsa s az Eurpai Bizottsg j vezetjnek megvlasztsa.

A BBC helyszni tudstja szerint, br a rsztvevk vatos optimizmussal azt mondjk, hogy a megllapods mg a ht vge eltt megszlethet, a vlemnyklnbsgek egyelre megmaradtak.

A f tkzpontok a nemzeti szavazatok arnya s a bizottsgon belli vezeti helyek szma. A rsztvevk megprblnak megegyezni a bizottsg volt elnke, Romano Prodi utdjrl is.

A cscstallkoz elnki tisztt betlt r miniszterelnk, Bertie Ahern gy nyilatkozott a krdsrl.

A bizottsg elnke krli krds meglehetsen egyszer: ha valaki megkapja a rsztvevk ktharmadnak szavazatt, akkor megvlasztjuk, ha nem, akkor senkit sem vlasztunk meg. Ezek a szablyok. A helyzet most az, hogy a tbbsget egyelre senki sem kapta meg- mondta Bertie Ahern

... I'm Hungarian, you see, but my father is Anglo-Caribbean in origin. Hope you can understand.

Hi Michael,
