Here are my slides from my talk at Liverpool and BCTCS 2010 at Edinburgh, regarding frugality in simple procurement auctions.

These are my slides from my talk at BCTCS 2011 at Birmingham, which presents an approximation hardness proof for computing NTUmin.

Some Java software for computing NTUmin and NTUmax values can be found here. (For descriptions of these values, see Frugality ratios and improved truthful mechanisms for vertex cover).

I also have a LaTeX Thesis template, which should conform to University regulations (but please check!). This is based on Sunit Patel's modifications of Steve Gunn's template.


I did have a short-story printed, from winning the short-story competition for the 'Liverpool Student' Newspaper; apparently there was actually more than one entry! You can find it on page 18 from the May 2007 edition of 'Liverpool Student'.

You can find some simple 'educational' games here, they are mostly for languages, but can be setup to be general purpose; (you can Browse Games to see some examples). School Mouse
I have also written a Java applet implementation of a Flood It Game (See University of Bristol for information about this game, if it is still working).
And also a small puzzle Colour-choosing game. It should be obvious how to play it!
