I started at CCCU in September, 2014, joining the team as a Senior Lecturer in Physics. I completed my PhD at Liverpool University in 1995, then held post-doc positions at the Universdad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, the University of East Anglia and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Whilst in Madrid I was awarded a Fellowship and subsequently a lectureship, a post I held until upping sticks and moving to CCCU.
