Research Interests

X-Ray Crystallography and Biophysics: investigation of the structure of biological molecules by X-ray diffraction; development of direct methods for crystal structure determination; density modification and image processing techniques.

I am a member of the Editorial Board of Physics Review, a magazine for sixth-form students who are learning physics. Information about the magazine can be obtained from the Physics Review Home Page.

Abstracts of feature articles I have published in the magazine can be seen here.
