Biography

After a BSc. in Physics (Sheffield) I completed a PhD entitled "Development of Techniques of Resonance Ionization Mass Spectrometry for the Analysis of Xenon from Meteorites" (again, Sheffield, supervisor, Prof. G. Turmer).  I moved to Manchester to take up a postdoctoral research position, and continued working on the same instrument.  In 1994 I was awarded a University Research Fellowship by the Royal Society, and joined the academic staff in 2002.  I developed and still informally run the degree programmes in Geology with Planetary Science.
