Bio Summary: Simon Scarle completed his BSc in Mathematical Physics at UMIST in 1997, and then went on to do a PhD entitled “Local Mode Spectra and I-R Absorption of SiGeC” at King’s College London.
Bio Full: Since then he has had a diverse research career publishing papers on defects in semi-conductors, thin film delamination, ion motion in polymer hosts, Berne-Gay potential/boids model link and electro-cardio dynamics, before going to work for the Game Developer, Rare Ltd, part of Microsoft Games Studios.

There he was the main programmer of a GPU based particle effects system, and also published work on using the Xbox 360 to carry GPGPU cardiac simulations. He was then the Senior Programmer for a Serious Games Project at the International Digital Laboratory, University of Warwick, which developed a motion controlled game to teach children good nutrition and the worth of exercise.

He is now Technical Developer for the V-trade project here at the SGI.
