  • About me

    Consulting physicist, CPhys PhD

  • Education

    • University of Kent

      1994 - 1997
      MSc Space Science

      Activities and Societies: Japanese Society I studied the role that the acoustic sensors on the Huygens Titan probe would have during that probe's mission. To do this I helped to build a novel system to test and calibrate sensors whilst immersed in liquid methane/ethane mixtures, wrote a ray-tracing sonar system in an ugly mixture of Matlab and FORTRAN, and generally had a wonderful time.

    • The Open University

      1998 - 2002
      PhD Physics

      For my research I studied the thermal and mechanical properties of cryogenic water and CO2 ices when subjected to coring/drilling operations in vacuum. I designed and built a novel vacuum-coring system and used it to find new data about the properties of cold planetary ices in vacuo.It's amazing what one can do with a windscreen wiper motor, some reed switches, and a whole room full of UHV cast-off parts.

    • The University of Manchester

      1987 - 1990
      BSc Physics First

      In my final year I and a colleague finished a project that automated the production of large circuit boards. These PCBs, 1m x 5m in size, were made into particle detectors for use at DESY. They were unusual in that long regular tracks were needed and so a large 3-axis grinding system was devised and built to cut the tracks. Think of a 3-axis CNC rig, squatting over a pair of table-sized vacuum tables. With an angle grinder on the 'z' stage.These were the days of DOS and discrete… Show more In my final year I and a colleague finished a project that automated the production of large circuit boards.
