As you can probably work out from my submissions to wikipedia, I like plants and gardening, and also Free Software. I have a degree in Physics and a doctorate in Biophysics, and I did some work on neural network modelling of language acquisition as a postdoc in Oxford. I work as a strategist at an investment bank in London, and live with my wife and children in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. I've written a text book that is an introduction to finance which you can read about by clicking here.
