I supervise projects in particle physics. My main emphasis is on phenomenology, comparison of predictions with experimental measurements. I follow developments in flavour physics: weak decays of mesons and baryons and their role as indirect probes for physics beyond the standard model. I also...

Understanding factors related to student retention and experience in physics and astrophysics major units. Using quantitative (surveys) and qualitative data (interviews with students) this project aims to explore who takes physics and astrophysics major units, why they pursue them, and what...

Glasses are a mystery that confounds modern condensed matter physics, yet disordered, glassy assemblies form from particles at many length sclaes (granules, colloids, atoms). My research aims to uncover the role of structure in the glass transition and how the disordered structure of a glass...

I supervise a wide range of projects in surface and materials physics, with a particular focus on novel electronic materials such as topological insulators where electrons can be transported without dissipation along the edges of the material. It is hoped that these sorts of materials will one...

I am interested in all aspects of theoretical astrophysics, with a particular focus on strong gravitational fields, compact objects, and gravitational-wave astronomy. I am currently exploring the evolution of massive binary stars into compact binaries as sources of gravitational-waves and...

My primary areas of research activity are two fold: first, studing thermonuclear (X-ray) bursts from accreting neutron stars; and second, searches for optical counterparts of gravitational-wave events with the GOTO telescope network. Projects focussing on thermonuclear bursts will involve...
