            Dr. Gareth Howells is a Lecturer in Electronic Engineering at the 
              University of Kent, U.K. He received his PhD degree in Computer 
              Science in 1991 specialising in the investigation of the practical 
              difficulties present in the efficient exploitation of various aspects 
              of Theoretical Computer Science in the large. Subsequently, he was 
              involved in postdoctoral work into the formal verification of digital 
              systems and the practical application of weightless RAM-based artificial 
              neural networks. This work resulted in the development of a number 
              of distinct artificial neural architectures and the development 
              of a formal mathematical model describing their behaviour. Since 
              1996, he has been involved in research areas relating to biometrics, 
              image processing and pattern classification techniques. He has been 
              awarded, either individually or jointly, several research grants 
              relating to the pattern classification and document security fields 
              from both UK and EU funding sources and has published widely in 
              these areas. Recent work has been associated with the design of 
              secure distributed documents using biometrically based security 
              features and encryption techniques. His research interests have 
              also involved the practical application of formal mathematical logic 
              to the design both of artificial neural networks and more general 
              pattern classification techniques. Current projects include the 
              development of an intelligent autonomous navigation system, the 
              development of tools to aid the formal verification of embedded 
              systems, the development of intelligent omnidirectional sensors 
              and the use of biometric based encryption systems for document and 
              network security systems.
