Former Member of the Engineering and Physical Science College
I am experienced at developing, managing and leading teams of scientists drawn from
different disciplines. A significant part of this work is conducted in partnership with
industry and through national and international collaboration.
I am an experimental scientist with a strongly multidisciplinary programme of
research focused on polymers, and which involves active international collaborations
and the use of both in-house and international experimental facilities including
neutron and synchrotron facilities. There is a strong focus on the study of molecular
organisation and the development of structure-processing-property relationships.
I have successfully initiated and led University-wide projects on research support,
research infrastructure, multidisciplinary research and external collaborations.
I have undertaken the review and assessment of research
(undergraduate and postgraduate) both in the UK and internationally.
and
teaching
I am an effective communicator and I have initiated and directed successful outreach
programmes both within the University sector and without.
I have experience in both leading the development of new undergraduate and
postgraduate programmes and building the quality assurance processes essential to
ensure high standards.
My broad teaching and research interests have brought me in to contact with a wide
range of academics, researchers and industrialists and allowed me to develop the
skills and experience to interact with and enthuse diverse groups of people with
differing backgrounds and concerns.
I was an adult volunteer with the Scouts (1980-2015)
I was a volunteer manager with Berkshire Scouts (2000-2015)
