Education

Pettifer completed his Bachelor of Science degree and PhD in the Department of Computer Science, and work on virtual reality under the supervision of Adrian West in 1999.[4]

Research and career

Pettifer's research interests are centred on the design of advanced interfaces for computer systems, in particular: scientific visualisation, scholarly publishing, and virtual reality.[8][9] His main research project revolves around Utopia Documents, a novel tool for interacting with the scientific literature.

He is a co-author of the bioinformatics textbook Bioinformatics Challenges at the Interface of Biology and Computer Science: Mind the Gap[10] with Terri Attwood and Dave Thorne.

As of 2017 Pettifer teaches on part of the Advanced Computer Graphics course and Fundamentals of Distributed Systems.[8]

gollark: If you do something manually and get better at it, you're training a neural network, which is a kind of program, to do it.
gollark: Planning out on things in advance lots does not work very well for me. I like to arbitrarily add stuff to things midproject.
gollark: At GTech™, we divide projects into arbitrarily small subsets which are then obviously trivial.
gollark: Wow, 2764 reminders of all ever.
