I am a Research Fellow focused on the fields of fluid dynamics, oceanography and climate science, with additional interests in dynamical systems (chaos theory), meteorology and numerics. A key thread running through my academic career has been the application of fluid mechanics combined with numerical simulation to conduct process studies of natural phenomena. It's an exploration of the natural world with the aim of better understanding these systems, where this improved understanding may have myriad applications and uses. I've worked as a research scientist for over a decade. See for more specific details of my career and science projects.

Before my career in academia I worked in industry as a Hydrographic and Geomatic Surveyor. My work as a Hydrographic Surveyor involved working on ships in the North Sea and English Channel operating sonar equipment and taking ocean observations. Some information about my past work as a Surveyor is provided here .

I have coded this website myself (using HTML and CSS), and the site is hosted on an Apache2 server which I set up. I have developed the site partly out of curiosity and to develop a useful tool for my career. I believe that it will be a useful tool for the purposes of outreach and for the dissemination of research results. Some notes about the website set up are provided here.
