A lot of things have been going on recently.

  1. MSc: Exams are over so I’ve started work on my summer project and thesis. The project I’m undertaking is a feasibility study in accelerating multi-variate analysis techniques using GPGPU computing, for the ATLAS project at CERN. I’m surrounded by particle physicists which is somewhat daunting, but hopefully writing CUDA code will make up for that.
     
  2. IGDA: As many of you will have seen, I started a movement to create an IGDA chapter in Scotland after seeing how much fun we were missing out on when I was at GDC. Thankfully, I was quickly joined by a number of active volunteers, and on the 19th May we held our first meeting in Dundee which 83 people attended! Here’s what Phil Harris of Square Go had to say about it, and here are some great pictures taken by Teemu Haila. You can find out more about IGDA Scotland through our mailing list, Twitter feed, Facebook page or website.
     
  3. CV: I’m now actively looking for work for when I graduate in September, and have updated my CV accordingly. Feedback is always massively appreciated, just drop me an email.
