Biography

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling. My academic career started as a PhD student at University College London and Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon from 2011 to 2015, under the co-supervision of Steve Bramwell and Peter Holdsworth. After a short postdoc and teaching position at Bristol Mathematics, I then moved to Bristol Physics in August 2017 after winning an EPSRC postdoctoral research fellowship. I was also a visiting scientist at Ecole normale supérieure (Paris) from September 2017 to October 2018, and won a Max Planck Institute research fellowship to visit the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden in April 2018.

Research

My broad research field is computational statistical physics, where I specialise in:

  • Emergent electrostatics, slow mixing (eg, broken symmetry) and correlated dynamics in systems that experience the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, eg, certain planar magnets, superfluids and superconductors.
  • Molecular simu

    I live on the shores of Loch Awe in Argyll, Scotland with my wife Lynn McGregor, who is a professional artist (www.lynnmcgregor.co.uk).

    Most of my working week is spent editing. I am an Advanced Professional Member of Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP) and specialties include developmental editing of fiction for self-publishing authors; copy-editing and proofreading of fiction and non-fiction titles for mainstream publishers; and editing of law books for a number of UK publishers. More on my editorial work, including titles I've edited and endorsements from clients, can be found at www.thebluecabin.com/editing.

    I have had three books published and am working on a fourth. 'The Blue Cabin' (2006) chronicles our first year on the (otherwise) uninhabited island of Islandmore, on Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland, where my wife and I lived for twelve years before moving to Scotland. An illustrated follow-up, 'Still On The Sound' was published by Blackstaff Press in 2009; and my latest book, the history of a Belfast mill, was published in December 20
