Dr Richard Kennaway
Senior Scientist
In collaboration with Professor Enrico Coen and others at the John Innes Centre, Richard designs, develops, maintains, and supports software for modelling plant growth based on the numerical solution of differential equations for elasticity, growth, and diffusion.
The software, called GFtbox (“Growth Factor Toolbox”) is described on the Bangham Lab wiki and is available from Sourceforge.
In the past Richard has also worked on real-time procedural animation for virtual sign language, control theory, and topics in the theory of programming languages.
