Managing Queen Mary's GridPP cluster computer * The High Throughput Cluster comprises approximately 440 machines with 1440 CPU cores equivalent to about 1800 KSI2K plus 1500TB of disk.

Cambridge, United Kingdom

Postdoctoral Scientist – Understanding the mechanisms behind the strength of small-scale structures and nanocomposites. I conducted mechanical experiments and modelling to elucidate the strength enhancement mechanisms observed in small (µm) scale structures. This will be useful in the design of nanomachines and high strength composite materials.

Hyogo, Japan

Postdoctoral scientist on the surface diffraction beamline. I performed X-ray diffraction experiments to study the structure of dysprosium nanowires and bismuth thin films. I also assisted Japanese scientists in other experiments to study crystal surface structures.

Grenoble Area, France

Postdoctoral scientist on the surface diffraction beamline. I performed X-ray diffraction experiments to determine the structure of carbon monoxide and hydrogen on nickel surfaces at pressures from UHV to 2 bar. As local contact, I showed visiting scientists how to use the

Force field parameterisation and molecular modelling (using Sybyl).

Phd, Physics

Activities and Societies: Surface X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. I studied InSb(001) and the CO/Ni(110) system.

Msci, Physics

Activities and Societies: Rowing (Churchill College boat club), Modern Pentathlon
