Other Activities

15	In July 2002 I was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship and a grant of £50,000 to spend on projects related to the teaching fellowship. The money is to be used to create web-based teaching tools in computer architecture.
14	In June 2002 I was chair of the IEEE Computer Society’s International Design Competition and ran an international competition with a budget of approximately $300,000. The World Finals were held in Washington, DC. I raised $1.5M for the next five years from Microsoft Ltd.
13	In July 2001 I was invited to be a member of an NSF panel in Washington, DC. My role was to examine grant applications in computer science education
12.	In June 2001 I arranged and managed all aspects of the CSIDC World Finals in Washington DC.
11	In May 2000 I was guest editor of the journal IEEE MICRO on the special issue of computer architecture education.
10.	In 2000 I was invited to be one of the ten judges for the IEEE Computer Society’s International Computer Design Competition. I was a judge at the World Finals in Washington DC in June 2000. I was later asked to be Chair of the CSIDC.
9.	Expert witness for VIA in action against Intel (concerning patent infringement of bus patents).
8	Member of the CC2001 group who is creating a template for computer courses in the next decade. I am on the computer architecture committee and am chair of the International Panel.
7.	In 1999 I became involved with the university's scheme to set up a course in computer science in Mysore, India. I visited the site in India and took part in the planning of the scheme that would teach part of the course in India and part in the UK.
6.	In 1997 I joined a consortium of six universities in a project jointly funded by the EU and the US government. The purpose of the consortium is to exchange students between Europe and the USA and to study ways of mutually accrediting courses on both sides of the Atlantic.
5.	I have acted as an expert witness and consultant for Sega, the Japanese games machine manufacturer.
4.	I have acted as an expert witness in two cases: one involving computer viruses and blackmail, and one involving alleged copyright infringement.
3.	I was commissioned by a major Japanese manufacturer to write a report explaining how advanced memories operate.
2.	Editorial consultant and reviewer to various publishers Chapman and Hall, Oxford University Press, Addison Wesley, MIT Press, McGraw Hill, John Wiley.
1.	The European Commission employed me to carry out research into the way in which standards in teleinformatics can be integrated into the curricula of universities and polytechnics throughout the EC. I wrote a report that included the results of my research together with my conclusions. This report has become a standard report in the EC and has been translated into the other major EC languages. Since writing the report, I have worked with the British Standards Institution to produce a guide to the importance of standards in teleinformatics.
