Publications

Over the last few years I have published a few papers. I also gave talks on conferences. The material is available here for downloading. You may also cite them in the usual way (that is giving credit), however, I do keep the copyright of the material.

In all cases I am very much interested in your feedback in particular where you disagree or see opportunities for improvement. Please use my contact info for getting into contact.

Some of the documents might mention the addresses of previous employers. My current address and email is available from my contact page.
