I teach and research in Department of Computing at Imperial College London. I lead the Computer Systems Section and the Custom Computing Research Group. I was Visiting Professor at Stanford University from November 2006 until August 2009.

My research interests include:

• architectures, design methods, languages, tools and models for custom hardware, parallel computers and embedded systems, particularly those involving reconfigurable devices such as field-programmable gate arrays, and
• their applications in areas including machine vision and sensor processing for biomedical and industrial systems.

My research group is currently focusing on theory and practice of reconfigurable architectures and the associated compilation techniques; see my selected publications or the DBLP list for details.

My research studies have been supported by various agencies including UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, European Framework 6 Programme, The Teaching Company Directorate, Agility, Algotronix, Altera, Celoxica, Cisco, Hewlett Packard, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Motorola, Nokia, QinetiQ, Sharp Laboratories of Europe, Sony, and Xilinx.

The courses that I teach include Computer Architecture and Custom Computing.

I co-chaired the ASAP'07 conference which was held during 8-11 July in Montreal, the FPT'02 conference which was held during 16-18 December 2002 in Hong Kong, and the FPL'97 Workshop which was held during 1-3 September 1997 in London.
