Biographical Note

Ross Moore is a full-time lecturer at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, where he teaches Mathematics, with an emphasis on Geometry and Computing.

After obtaining a first degree from the University of Melbourne, Ross studied Mathematical Physics at the University of Oxford, emerging with a doctorate in 1981. Then followed 5 years at the Australian National University, working mainly in Vector Bundles and Algebraic Geometry and playing a lot of Contract Bridge. In 1986, Ross moved to Sydney as a research assistant, then later gained a full-time lectureship at Macquarie University where he now teaches Mathematics, with an emphasis on Geometry and Computing.

His most recent work is in developing software useful for the presentation, display and publication needs of the scientific community, and mathematicians in particular. This includes significant contributions to the X_Y-pic graphics macros for use with TEX and L^ATEX. His work on L^ATEX2HTML during the past three years has made this program into one of the most versatile and easy-to-use interpretors for L^ATEX, adding an important tool to the repertoire available freely to academics and scientists.

Ross is a member of the Board of Directors and the Technical Council of the TeX Users Group (TUG). He will be giving a presentation at
TUG '99: TeX Online---Untangling the Web and TeX,
the 20th Annual Meeting and Conference of the TeX Users Group, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, August 15-19, 1999.
