Affiliations and memberships
ResearchResearch interests
I am a member of School of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Surrey.
My research is primarily in the investigation of geometric structures which arise in String/M-Theory. I am particularly interested in supergravity, spinorial geometry, classifications of supersymmetric solutions and their geometric properties, and higher dimensional black holes.
From 2012-2016 I held a STFC Advanced Fellowship. Further details about my research can be found on my personal webpage.

Teaching
Teaching
This year I am teaching the Calculus (MAT1030) and the Riemannian Geometry (MAT3044) modules. All course materials for this are on SurreyLearn.
I have also previously taught Manifolds and Topology (MAT3009), Special Relativity and Electrodynamics (MAT3047) at Surrey, a MSc course in Manifolds at King's College London, a Part III course on Symmetry and Particle Physics and a second year Mathematical Methods course for the Natural Sciences Tripos at DAMTP Cambridge.
