About Me

desmond
I have a BA (1980) in Classical Greek language and Ancient History, a PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK in Classical Greek papyrology. I have recently been awarded a second PhD in the ITEE School at UQ for my thesis on 'Multiple Versions and Overlap in Digital Text'. From 1989 until 2005 I worked for the Cambridge Wittgenstein Archive making an edition of Wittgenstein. I spent three years as a Computer Associate running the IT support group at the Wellcome/CRC Institute in Cambridge. I have also spent three years developing a commercial license managment system for Mac OSX. I then worked for three years on the Leximancer text mining application (www.leximancer.com) which strives to extract meaning from natural text. I currently work at the Queensland University of Technology Information Security Institute. Since 2002 I have worked with Digital Variants, since 2010 with the HRIT group at the University of Loyola, Chicago, and since 2012 on the AustESE project at the University of Queensland.
