I am a research leader in informatics and Head of the Informatics Division at the Natural History Museum, London, applying computer technologies and the web to the study of taxonomy and biodiversity. I lead the Museum’s informatics initiative, building the NHM Data Portal (http://data.nhm.ac.uk) for the museum's research outputs and developing new approaches to the mass digitisation of the museum’s 80 million specimens. I am the coordinator of the EU-funded SYNTHESYS3 project (http://www.synthesys.info/), and lead a number of recent informatics initiatives including the EU FP7 funded ViBRANT project (http://vbrant.eu/) and was Co-PI on the NERC funded eMonocot project (http://e-monocot.or...
