I am the Robert Sansom Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, ACM, and IEEE, as well as of Fitzwilliam College. From 2003 to 2019 I was at the Cheriton School of Computer Science in the University of Waterloo.
My recent work is to use sensing, communication, and control to reduce the carbon footprint of energy generation, transportation, and buildings. Members of my former research group, ISS4E, published over 50 papers on these topics. For the past couple of years, I worked on improving the performance of Hyperledger Fabric so that it can be used as the foundation for highly-scalable energy systems, such as for transactive energy and renewable energy certificates. I have recently turned my attention to the carbon sequestration and biodiversity potential of forests, looking at both conservation and restoration. Here is a more detailed list of what I am currently working on. I look forward to working with collaborators and students who are interested in topics that lie broadly at the intersection of computer science and sustainability.
