I have worked a long time with UEL and previoulsy NELP.  I was brought in to help frame the Innovations Studies degree course, invited to guest lecture, and then it grew from there.  I now focus on journalism and my research interests.  I greatly enjoy teachning and feeding my research into it.  I enjoy seeing the students grow and get the point of our courses.  I went to the University of Kent, then onto a job in the computer industry.  In the early 1970s I jumped ship and became a journalist, eventually arriving up editing Computing.  That was when I was contacted about the Innovation Studies course and began my association with UEL, as it became.

Journalism, particularly magazines from 1700.

I have a long standing project researching the world semiconductor industry.  I am trying to put together an index for the future of the creative industries.
