Simon Fleming's home page

Simon Fleming

I was born in London, lived for a long time in Yorkshire and moved to Sydney in early 1994. Most of my career has been as a researcher in photonics and more recently as a manager of a researcher group. See Work. My main interests worth sharing on the web are computers and motorcycling.

Work - Photonics Research

My technical speciality is in the field known as Photonics - broadly speaking, optical communications. Check out the Australian Photonics Educational Website if you want to know more about the technology. Photonics is, amongst many other things, the physical hardware infrastructure that makes the internet possible. I am currently employed as the Director of The Optical Fibre Technology Centre at The University of Sydney; a partner in The Australian Photonics Cooperative Research Centre of which I am currently the Chief Executive Officer.

Motorcycling

My main motorcycle interest is Panthers - see The Panther Page and the Yahoo! Panther email discussion group.

Computers

I have released a small amount of Shareware or Freeware:

A Psion II cross-assembler, PsiAss, written in Turbo Pascal on the PC, it assembles Psion II machine-code.
An optical fibre parameter calculator, Fibre Calc, in HotPaw Basic for the Palm.
Some Korean language utilities including a dictionary KorEng, and vocabulary tester for the Palm and a Delphi program to romanise the Korean script.
