Professor Kerridge's research primarily focuses on parallel programming models, particularly through his work on the Groovy Parallel Patterns Library and Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). His research spans multiple domains including software engineering, database systems, and interdisciplinary work in neuroscience related to dyslexia. He has also made significant contributions to pedestrian movement modeling and evolutionary algorithms.
His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on practical software engineering solutions for parallel and distributed systems. The research trajectory shows progression from foundational work in computer architecture education in the 1980s through database systems in the 1990s-2000s to modern parallel programming frameworks. His interdisciplinary work connecting computer science with visual processing in dyslexia represents an innovative application of computational approaches to neuroscience problems.

Professor Kerridge has supervised several PhD students to completion, including Kevin Chalmers (Investigating communicating sequential processes for Java to support ubiquitous computing) and Robert Kukla (A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement). His research has been supported by Edinburgh Napier University funding, with applications ranging from healthcare systems to pedestrian flow optimization. He is a key member of the Centre for Algorithms, Visualisation and Evolving Systems at Edinburgh Napier University, where his work continues to influence both theoretical and applied aspects of computing.
