Areas of expertise I work in the area of lossless data compression, pioneering the use of variable order Markov models in hardware to support optimal statistical compression of multimedia data without any loss of quality and real time processing. This work is currently supported by EPSRC under grant EP/D011639/1. In addition, I am also active in other areas such as Reconfigurable Computing and high-performance embedded processors and on-chip communication architectures.

During the last year I have been a research fellow at ST Microelectronics, Italy with a Marie Curie fellowship investigating how to achieve an optimal coupling between a RISC processor and a dynamically reconfigurable fabric to perform automatic extensions to the standard instruction set architecture of the processor with complexities ranging from sophisticated function-level instructions to simple bit manipulation extensions.
