Paul Young

Profile

Biography

Paul is a Systems Administrator and Developer for the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). His role is to maintain the servers and databases at the ADS and help with any development tasks. This is Paul's third stint at the ADS but his first as a Systems Administrator (taking over from Michael Charno in January 2016). His previous role at the ADS was to develop the internal Collection Management System (CMS).

Paul initially studied for a BSc in Physics at the University of Nottingham (1994) followed by an MSC in Medical Physics and IT and a PhD in Physics and Computing before coming to York in 2002. Since then, he has worked in several departments across the university including Chemistry, the Digital Library and the ADS.

Although Paul does not have a background in Archaeology, he does have a real interest and has visited a large number of archaeological sites.

Research

Overview

‘The analysis of gastric function using computational techniques’

This research was based on the application of computational techniques to the study of gastric function, using MRI images. This included developing software to automatically detect stomach contractions, and modelling fat emulsification using Monte-Carlo techniques.
