Position

I am a university lecturer in Mathematics with the title of Professor and a tutorial fellow of St Peter's College. I was an undergraduate and postgraduate at Oxford in Roger Penrose's research group under the supervision of Nick Woodhouse.

Research

My research interests lies in mathematical physics, focussing mostly on general relativity and quantum theory. My special interests are in the use of twistor theory to solve problems in mathematical physics, geometry, nonlinear differential equations with a focus on integrable systems. Further details of my research interests can be obtained from my publication list.
