Chris Seaton MEng

I am a PhD student at the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. I am part of the Advanced Processor Technologies Group, under the supervision of Professor Ian Watson and Dr Mikel Luján. I am interested in programming languages, and how they will be designed and implemented to support modern and future architectures.

I studied computer science as an undergraduate at the University of Bristol where my thesis was Katahdin — A Programming Language Where the Syntax and Semantics Are Mutable at Runtime, and was supervised by Dr Henk Müller.

Between undergraduate and postgraduate study, I trained at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and commissioned into the Royal Army Medical Corps of the British Army. I served for four years on operations and in training establishments.

I am married to Dr Maxine Seaton, a physiologist at the University of Liverpool whom I met at Bristol.

Projects

Mersey Burns

Mersey Burns is a free clinical tool for calculating burn area percentages, prescribing fluids using Parkland, background fluids and recording patients details. In 2011 it won an Excellence in Innovation prize at the NHS North West Health Innovation Awards.

Katahdin

Katahdin is a programming language where the syntax and semantics are mutable at runtime. It is a research language designed as my master’s thesis at Bristol, so it is not intended to be used for real applications.
