Nick has developed practical solutions for businesses using neural computers for 20-years.  He founded and was CEO of the UK firm that now protects 1–in–7 of the world?s mobile telephone subscribers from fraud using neural computers (www.neuralt.com). He developed anti-fraud systems for loan and credit card applications, city dealing and anti-money laundering.  The impact of fraud is substantial – with the proceeds paying for organised crime, drug smuggling and terrorism and through these systems a substantial impact has been made in reducing crime.  He is a well-known innovator, with successes such as the first neural computer to 'taste champagne' and 'sniff out explosives and drugs'.  Today, Helping businesses like Retail Decisions (www.redplc.com), a card issuer and a world leader in card fraud prevention and payment processing, preventing around £600m in attempted fraudulent purchases for clients every year.  Nick is also a Research Fellow at City University London researching state of the art neural-symbolic approaches at the Department of Computing (www.soi.city.ac.uk/neural).
