Biography

I obtained my BA(Hons) in linguistics and language pathology from Essex University in 1986. I then completed an MSc in computation at UMIST in 1987 before undertaking a PhD at the University of Leeds in 1988. During my PhD I undertook some part-time teaching at the University of Salford.

My PhD was completed shortly before my appointment to Lecturer at the University of Sheffield in 1992. I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2001, and to Reader in 2004.
