I'm interested in the spread of information and the expansion of information networks. Social and professional networking continues to grow and we are at the beginning of the technological revolution. To some, it is more useful or interesting to look a the propagation of the latest viral video on Facebook but for the time being the Erdős number is a little more relevant to me; it measures collaboration distance to a famous mathematician and has been used to study how academics cooperate. My number appears to be 6:

I stumbled across this on Dr Richard Boardman's personal page. Dr Richard Boardman and Dr Neil O'Brien are computer wizards from the μ-VIS CT unit and in general, clever cookies. They inspired me to download Linux last year and learn some basic coding; this web page is testament to the current depth of that rabbit hole, though I am certain the time I have wasted making a web pages nobody will read, I have gained many times over because of my newfound computer literacy.
