I am a member of the Centre for Water Systems and the Computational Engineering group. I graduated from Christs College Cambridge in 1990 with a 1st in Theoretical Physics, then did a Ph.D. in Theoretical Astrophysics at the Department of Physics at Oxford. Changing both location and research area, I then worked as a RA in Prof. David Gosman's research group at Imperial College, London, for 5 years. During this time I worked on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of multiphase flows and the modeling of premixed turbulent combustion, and contributed towards the CFD code now known as OpenFOAM. I was appointed as a lecturer at Exeter in October 1999. I am a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and member of the Computational Physics Group committee of the IOP, Chair of the Joint Technical Committees for the OpenFOAM Governance effort, and a member of the international OpenFOAM Workshop Committee.
