Experience
Dr. Jeremy Gibbons is considered an international eminence for his contributions in the field of Programming Methodology and its applications in Software Engineering. For more than two decades, this expert, associated with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, has driven different development projects whose most tangible results are applied by computer scientists from different parts of the world.
His work covers areas such as generic programming, formal methods, computational biology, bioinformatics and algorithm design with Haskell. This last topic he developed extensively in conjunction with his mentor, Dr. Richard Bird.
In his role as Director of the Alegbra of Programming Research Group, Gibbons has led advances in Functional Programming Languages and Pattern Theory in Programming. At the same time, the applications of his innovations have been linked to the healthcare framework, as evidenced by his collaboration with CancerGrid and Datatype-Generic Programming. These and other initiatives reflect his interest in solving practical problems in cancer research and clinical informatics.
Gibbons has also made a significant mark as Editor-in-Chief of scholarly publications in The Journal of Functional Programming and The Programming Journal: The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming. Through these responsibilities he has carried out intensive outreach and dissemination of knowledge. In addition, he has led several study chairs linked to renowned institutions such as Oxford Brookes University and the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
In addition, this specialist is a member of the Working Group 2.1 on Algorithmic Languages and Computation of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). With this organization, he provides maintenance for the ALGOL 60 and ALGOL 68 programming languages.
