He is Associate Editor of Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine,[4] and serves on the editorial board of the International Journal of Health Geographics.

He then pursued further education at City, University of London, where he obtained his MSc in Instrument & Control Engineering, and PhD in Systems Science.

[3] Carson started his professional career as an engineer in the Computer Applications Laboratory at the Philips Electronics Company.

During his career, he contributed in the development of several graduate and post-graduate programmes in Biomedical Engineering and related subjects.

[8] He served as an Executive Committee Member at the British Medical Informatics Society and an Expert Reviewer for the European Commission.

At the beginning of his academic career, he did research on the development of mathematical models to better understand the dynamics of metabolic processes taking place in the human body.

[13] Carson has developed a range of mathematical models for human metabolic systems including plasma proteins, thyroid hormones[14] and glucose,[15] which helped in enhancing understanding of dynamics and control in quantitative terms.

Apart from that he has developed models of the cardiovascular,[16] respiratory,[17] renal[18] and liver organ systems to provide an understanding in quantitative terms of a number of the underlying control processes.
