Tutor: Wayne Cosshall
I migrated to Australia from the UK in 1966.  I started a scientific photography degree but quickly switched to a computer science degree. I wrote my first graphics software, a 3D astronomy rendering package, in 1978 and built my first computer in 1979. After graduating in 1980 I ended up at Swinburne University and over a 17 year career there went from tutor to tenured Senior Lecturer. I founded and ran the Computer Graphics Research Group and mainly did research in parallel computer architectures and algorithms for computer graphics, and mathematical art. My research work was mainly sponsored by Epson Japan through Epson Australia, Motorola and Xilinx Semiconductor.  Along the way I started both exhibiting initially my photography and then my digital art, and writing about computers, photography and graphics in the popular press.
In 1997 I left Swinburne to take up magazine writing full time, to do more art and to do more teaching on the creative side of computer graphics. Australian photography and digital art online magazines, developing several other online magazines and writing for HP’s website in the US; running my own workshop series at several locations; consulting with other businesses on Internet strategies; writing books; and making my own photography and digital art.
