Career

Mark started his career as an electronics apprentice with the Royal Radar Establishment, Malvern (http://college-of-electronics.org/), before reading Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Aston University. After graduating he joined Ferranti Computer Systems, Underwater Systems Group, Cheadle Heath, Manchester (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales_Underwater_Systems#Cheadle_Heath). He returned to academia to study Microprocessor Engineering and Digital Electronics at UMIST and remained as a research assistant within the Department of Computation to gain a PhD in Applied Machine Learning. As a lecturer, Mark established a Machine Vision Research Group at Coventry Polytechnic before moving to UEA in 1998. His research interests now focus on medical image understanding and analysis and he has co-authored nearly 100 publications on applications of image analysis in engineering and medicine.
