Biography

Peter Jeavons was on the Advisory Board for a project based at Harvard University involving computerisation of medieval music manuscripts (The NEUMES Project) and he worked with Louis Barton and Professor John Caldwell to develop this further, with the help of a grant from the Eduserv Foundation. And he is currently working as a professor of Computer Science in University of Oxford.

Research Intrest

He is interested in algorithms and computational complexity. Most of his research has focused on constraint satisfactionproblems. He is also interested in computational biology.
