Biography
He received his doctorate in theoretical chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1972 [3] and his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Oxford in 1968. [4] In 1987, he founded Iterated Systems Incorporated , and in 1988 published a book entitled “ Fractals Everywhere” and, in 2006, “ Super Fractals ” .
Scientific activity
He published these scientific articles: “Existence and uniqueness of orbital measures”, “Theory and applications of fractal vertices”, “Fractal random iteration algorithm and fractal hierarchy”, “Fractals with V variables and superfractals”, “Fractal transformations” and “Ergodic theory, fractal peaks and color theft. "
He is also credited with discovering the Collage theorem .
Iterated Systems Inc initially focused on fractal image compression ( Barnsley fern ), and then on creating products for managing image archives, and was renamed MediaBin. MediaBin was sold in 2003 to Interwoven.
Since 2005, he has been working at the Department of Mathematics at the Australian National University . [5] Previously held a teaching position at Georgia Institute of Technology . [6]
