Martin Fleury

Martin Fleury holds a first degree from Oxford University, UK and an additional Maths/Physics based bachelor degree from the Open University, Milton Keynes, UK. He obtained an MSc in Astrophysics from QMW College, University of London, UK in 1990 and an MSc from the University of South-West England, Bristol in Parallel Computing Systems in 1991. He holds a PhD in Parallel Image-Processing Systems from the University of Essex, Colchester, UK. He is currently a Visiting Fellow at the University of Essex, UK, having previously worked as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Essex. Martin has authored or co-authored over two hundred and twenty five articles on topics such as document and image compression algorithms, performance prediction of parallel systems, software engineering, reconfigurable hardware, and vision systems. His current research interests are video communication over MANs, WLANs, PANs, BANs, MANETs, and VANETs. He is a guest editor of a number of journal special issues and a reviewer for a good number of journals in the IEEE Transactions series. He is also an external examiner for the Arab Open University in Kuwait and the Open University in the UK.
