He was formerly a lecturer at the University of the West of England where the Duckworth-Lewis method originated from an undergraduate final-year project. He is also a former chairman of the Western Operational Research Discussion Society[citation needed] and was a keynote speaker at the Second IMA International Conference on Mathematics in Sport in 2009.[4]
