2007-2010	University of Wales, Swansea
	MRes Logic and Computation
	This was a part-taught course with a thesis including a substantial portion of original research. The taught part included: lambda calculus and type theory boolean satisfiability problems and solving abstract data types and program synthesis interactive theorem proving using dependent types (Agda) The research project concerned the theory and implementation of exact real number computation, a broad-based project involving aspects of: real analysis topology domain theory category theory automata and computability theory program extraction functional programming in Haskell During the course I took part in a Marie Curie fellowship scheme, Mathlogaps (Mathematical Logic and Applications), including a 5-month visit to LMU Munich and a 5-day workshop at Manchester University.

2003-2007	University of Wales, Swansea
	BSc Computer Science (with German) (2.1)
	Combined honours scheme, ²⁄₃ Computer Science modules, balanced between practice and theory: programming in Delphi, C, Haskell, Prolog and Java a group project using Java an individual, mostly theoretical project on pure functional memoization with an implementation in Haskell program design, data structures, algorithms and complexity parsing of formal and natural languages, including programming exercises using LALR(1) parser generators (Lex/Yacc) and DCGs (Prolog) AI techniques such as heuristics and machine learning algebraic specification using the algebraic rewriting language Maude logic, computability theory, and theory of programming languages operating systems and concurrency and ¹⁄₃ German/linguistics: language tuition including German literature translation terminology
2005-2006	University of Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany (year abroad)
