Overview
I am particularly interested in dynamical systems and control: the study of things (mechanical, biological, electrical, etc.) which interact and evolve in time and can be predicted, managed and optimised. I've been the Chair in Applied Mathematics at the ESI since June 2011. I work closely with colleagues in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, as well as in the College of Life and Environmental Sciences, to understand natural and man-made systems.
I am also a member of the Mathematics department in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
