Mark Shackleton

Mark Shackleton graduated from Sheffield University (UK) in 1986 with a degree in Computer Science.

He first worked for Singer Link-Miles, manufacturers of commercial flight simulators, developing real-time 3D computer graphics algorithms and systems.

He joined the Image Processing and Computer Vision research group at BT (British Telecommunications) in 1989. In this group he designed and implemented a number of systems in areas such as automatic face recognition, model-based coding, and content retrieval from images and video sequences. During this period he spent time seconded to MIT Media Laboratory working closely alongside researchers there.

In 1996 he moved across to the Future Technologies Group, now part of the Pervasive ICT Research Centre, at Adastral Park. He now leads this group whose remit is to develop novel solutions to problems using nature-inspired algorithms and approaches.

Mark is Project Manager of BT Group CTO's Dependable Infrastructure research programme which is seeking to address the issues of complexity inherent in the next generation of large-scale, complex, dynamic networks of computational devices.
