Martin works in the Centre for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience in Plymouth University on computer models of development in auditory cortex. This work is related to his PhD which he submitted two years ago. Before that, he gained a masters degree in Computational Intelligence, and a long time ago (ancient history) he did a degree in Chemistry which was, scientifically, his first love. Apart from his research he spends some time spreading the word about LaTeX, which is a cult dedicated to the overthrow of wordprocessors.
If you have never heard of Ultimate (a team game played with a frisbee) there is no room to explain it here, but this arcane pursuit keeps Martin relatively sane outside the office. His principle non-professional activity is, however, house ownership - not a passion, just a necessity.
"NESTA FameLab is a genuinely good idea in a world where there are very few - kudos to whoever got it off the ground and to those who keep it running. Friendly atmosphere, uncomplicated format and like all good ideas, simple but simultaneously immensly challenging."
