Having previous experience as a course manager, programme manager and Associate Head responsible for Postgraduate Courses in ABS he is now Associ ate Dean of Research. He has a background in working in academic libraries and also worked for some time as a systems analyst. His research interests have in the past centred around the use of new technology in the effective delivery of information and education.
