Other personal information:
I am married and have a son who was born in September 1998. Because my
wife is a US citizen, it should be straightforward for me to obtain the
right to work in the USA.
Degrees:
Current occupation:
In September 1996, after two years in industry (see below) I
returned to the University of Oxford
for three years to commence work on a D. Phil. (the Oxford equivalent
of Ph. D.) I am working under the supervision of
Dr John
Coleman. For more information about my doctoral work, click
here.
I also currently teach two undergraduate courses, one in Phonetics
and Phonology, and the other in Russian language. I have also taught
Polish language.

Previous employment:
From September 1994 to September 1996 I worked for Price Waterhouse (now
PriceWaterhouseCoopers)
in auditing and business advisory services. My time was divided between
the firm's offices in Windsor, England, and Moscow, Russia. During my time
in the Moscow office I worked on the audit of
RAO Gazprom, a company which
accounts for about 25% of world gas production, and represents about 8% of
Russia’s GNP. I am part-qualified as a chartered accountant.
Outside interests:
My interests include music composition, hiking and travelling. Of
necessity, I still keep up with my accountancy skills by completing annual
tax returns for both myself and my wife, and for both the USA and the UK!
