Biography

Tony Field is a Reader in Performance Engineering at Imperial College London, specializing in performance modeling through a combination of analytical methods and stochastic simulation. With over 35 years of experience in stochastic modeling, he has also dedicated 25 years to teaching Haskell programming to first-year undergraduates, which he considers a joy. He has co-authored multiple research papers focused on functional programming, particularly in the areas of type systems and run-time memory management. Tony remains an active user of the Haskell language and has devoted his spare time to developing a cryptic crossword solver named Morse, which is entirely built using Haskell. The solver aims to explain the logic behind clues, focusing on wordplay rather than mere guessing of answers. Throughout his academic career, he served as Director of Undergraduate Studies in his department for 15 years and is now retired as of 2025, but continues to contribute to the field through his research endeavors.
