I am the Project Scientist for the Durham DiRAC-2.5y supercomputer facility, chairman of the Local Management Board of DiRAC, a member of the national DiRAC standing committee, and of the technical working group.
I am currently supervising three PhD students and one level 4 project student. I am a first year physics tutor and a level 4 project moderator. I am not currently lecturing, but I have lectured parts of the level 1 'Galaxies and Beyond', and before that the planets part of the level 3 'Cosmology and Planets' lectures.
I am interested in the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and discovering how the universe developed its present complex structure from the epoch of (re)combination to today.
