Summary
I joined Brunel University London in October 2019, having previously worked at the University of Reading for over fifteen years, the last five as Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. I served as Head of the Department of Mathematics from October 2019 to October 2022, and then as Interim Executive Dean of the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences from November 2022 until May 2024.
My research is in the area of Numerical Analysis, particularly the development, analysis and implementation of numerical methods for the solution of partial differential equations, and the application of such schemes to the solution of mathematical models arising from physical or biological processes such as acoustic or electromagnetic scattering, fluid flow, or tumour growth.
Qualifications
- Postgraduate Certificate of Academic Practice, University of Reading, 2009.
- PhD in Numerical Analysis, University of Bath, 1999.
- BA Mathematics, Oxford University, 1994.
