Research Interests
------------------------
I am an applied mathematician and solar physicist, primarily interested in problems in the area of solar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). My research involves solving nonlinear, three-dimensional, coupled systems of partial differential equations, under various physical assumptions. I approach these problems using both analytical techniques and a variety of numerical methods, including the use of parallel computing. My current research involves investigating time-dependent reconnection which involves the analysis of large-scale numerical simulations. I am also interested in numerical modelling of MHD wave activity in solar active regions and solar plumes. I am a co-investigator on WP2 of the STFC contribution to the DKIST project. I am also a member of an international ISSI (International Space Science Institute) team investigating quasi-periodic pulsations in solar and stellar flares.

Leadership: REF2014 and REF2021
------------------------
I was the Unit of Assessment (UoA) lead for the B10 Mathematical Sciences REF2014 submission at Northumbria University. My role involved setting overall research strategy for the Unit, assessing and developing staff outputs and esteem factors, dealing with confidential/sensitive documentation, and advising and supporting staff (including multiple ECRs) with regards to the strategic nature of the submission.
I was the Unit of Assessment (UoA) co-lead for the UoA14 Geography and Environmental Studies REF2021 submission at Northumbria University. Building on my REF2014 experience, I organised and optimised REF2021 materials in a timely and clear fashion, including meeting agreed objectives. I collated diverse materials from across the Unit and kept all parties informed of progress, as well as disseminating information and guidance
I was also the REF2021 UoA12 Engineering (Academic Lead for Impact Case Studies portfolio). Due to the size of UoA12 (125FTE), a new role of Academic Lead for Impact Case Studies portfolio was created. This role involved overseeing nine impact case studies for UoA12 Engineering, including mentoring impact case study authors, advising and chasing evidence gathering, and advising and chasing narrative writing

Leadership: Director of Research
-------------
I am Director of Research within the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering. This involves working closely with the HoD, Professoriate and Pro Vice Chancellor (Research) to lead the development of research within the Department, raise the national/international standing of the Department and drive income generation. My role also involves dealing with confidential/sensitive documentation, management of devolved research budgets, liaison with Departmental PGR programme leader, promoting high-quality outputs, REF planning and monitoring REF preparedness of staff, monitoring impact, contributing to the Department’s recruitment of staff and workforce planning, leadership and management of individuals and a research team, developing and enhancing the Department’s research culture, including capacity building and advising, supporting and mentoring of academic staff.

Leadership: Multi-Disciplinary Research Theme “Extreme Environments”
------------
I played a leading role in the creation and approval of the Multi-Disciplinary Research Theme “Extreme Environments”, including writing significant parts of the original and revised proposal, presenting the research to the University Executive (e.g. DVC and PVCs) at Northern Design Centre, taking part in budget discussions, shortlisting applicants, etc.

Contributions to the Discipline
--------------
I also contribute to my chosen discipline in multiple ways, for example I am an Ordinary Council Member of the UKSP Council which represents the UK Solar Physics community. I was elected to this position by members of the UK Solar Physics community. I have reviewed several STFC (Science & Technology Facilities Council), Leverhulme Trust grant proposals, as well as FWO (Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek / Research Foundation Flanders) due to my recognised research expertise. I have refereed several papers for high-impact international journals, including Astrophysical Journal, and Astronomy & Astrophysics.

History
----------
I graduated from Durham University in 2002 with a M.Sci. Mathematics and Physics (joint honours) degree. I then moved to the University of St Andrews for my Ph.D. studies in Applied Mathematics/Solar Theory. After successfully defending my thesis entitled “MHD wave propagation in the neighbourhood of magnetic null points", I accepted a research scientist position at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, USA. Later, I returned to the University of St Andrews as a Research Fellow funded by a Leverhulme Trust Grant. In late 2009, I was appointed Senior Lecturer at Northumbria University.
