I was born in the north of England in 1981 (at least people in the south claim it is in the north but it's in the middle really). I currently live in Bristol where I did my undergraduate degree in Mathematical Modelling (MEng first class honours). In September 2006 I finished my PhD in Nonlinear Dynamics/Dynamics of Time Delay Systems from BCAMN (the Bristol Centre for Applied Nonlinear Mathematics) at the University of Bristol. Currently (until October 2010), I am a Great Western Research Fellow looking into energy harvesting.
On 7th January 2006 I married Johanna
. It was a nice winter day, unfortunately
the church heating broke but everyone still enjoyed themselves. At least Johanna and I did! And we have
enjoyed many more nice days together since.
The most recent addition to our little family is our baby daughter Phoebe Elizabeth who was born at the end of May 2009 and is wonderful!
When I have a bit of spare time (which doesn't happen very often...) I enjoy playing badminton and rock
climbing. I'm still not very good but with a bit of practice I might be half decent one day. I also like
watching films, running, photography, tinkering with computers, reading anything that is lying around, and
generally taking things apart to figure out how they work
. My next project is
to make us a new coffee table...
I love the great outdoors, I can think of few things better than just relaxing and taking in the scenery. I'd really love to take a tent, a camera and a few books and go wander around some of the Scottish highlands.
