About Me

Australian by birth, education and outlook, I've enjoyed living in Scotland, England, Italy and Wales where I've been based for over two decades.

 

Apart from physics, I have become increasingly involved with public engagement of science and founded the Oriel Science project. Outside work, I spend my time running, cycling, swimming, pretend guitar playing, wine tasting and being with my kids (although not necessarily in that order). My research specialises in predicting the properties of protons and neutrons using pen and paper and a very large slice of computer time....

 

I obtained my B.Sc. from the University of Queensland, Brisbane, and my Ph.D. from the Australian National University, Canberra. My postdoc career began with a brief stint in Edinburgh followed by appointments in Southampton and Rome. I've been on the lecturing staff in the Department of Physics, Swansea University, ever since.
