David Charles De Roure PhD[21] FBCS[22] MIMA CITP[23] is a Professor of e-Research at the University of Oxford, Director of the Oxford e-Research Centre (OeRC)[24] and Co-Director of the Institute for the Future of Computing[25] in the Oxford Martin School. From 2009 to 2013 he held the post of National Strategic Director for e-Social Science.[26][27] He is also a supernumerary Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford.[28][29]

Education

De Roure grew up in West Sussex and studied for an undergraduate degree in Mathematics with Physics at the University of Southampton, completing his studies in 1984. He stayed on to do a Doctor of Philosophy degree[21] in 1990 initially under the supervision of David W. Barron and Peter Henderson[30] on a Lisp environment for modelling distributed computing.

Research and career

Following an early career in medical electronics at Sonicaid, De Roure held a longstanding position in the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton[31] from its formation as a department in 1986, becoming a full professor in 2000. He was Warden of South Stoneham House in the late 80s. He moved to the Oxford e-Research Centre in July 2010. He was closely involved in the UK e-Science programme and is best known for the myExperiment,[32][33][34] the Semantic Grid initiative,[35][36] and the UK's Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (OMII-UK) for which he chaired the management board from 2007 to 2010. In 2009 he was appointed as the National Strategic Director for e-Social Science by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

His personal research interests[37][38][39] include e-Research and Computational musicology and his projects build on Semantic Web,[40] Web 2.0 and Scientific workflow system technologies. A notable contribution to the field of the Semantic Web is his gloss of the common name for the Web Ontology Language, properly 'WOL' and commonly referred to as 'OWL', as deriving from A.A. Milne's character Owl in the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.[41] Characteristically his work focuses on the 'long tail' of researchers[42] through adoption of user-centric methodologies.[34] He currently works on Social Machines[43] and Web Observatories.[44] Prior to e-Science he worked in distributed computing, Amorphous computing, Ubiquitous computing and Hypertext with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.[45]

Academic service

De Roure was involved in the organisation of Digital Research 2012[46] and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Web Semantics,[47] Ubiquity Press,[48] FORCE11[49] and What's the Score.[50] DeRoure is also a member of the Scientific Council of the Web Science Trust. De Roure has supervised or co-supervised several doctoral students.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]

Personal life

De Roure is married to Gillian Catherine Payne and has four children.[citation needed] He plays a variety of basses in jazz bands, including a 21-inch ukulele[51] and a double bass.
