Lecturer in Dynamics

University of Sheffield

Intro

Welcome! I am a lecturer at the University of Sheffield and part of the Dynamics group. I mostly develop code and mathematical models for waves (like sound and radio) and more broadly solid mechanics. For an overview see my projects, publications or CV.

Wave Software

Software for wave propagation and scattering.

Ultrasonics

Using elastic waves, also known as ultrasonics, to measure materials or find defects

Entropy GO

Use AI concepts, such as entropy maximisation, to play games.

Waves in Complex Materials

The aim is to understand how waves (like sound, radio, light, and vibrations) behave in materials with random microstructure.

Industrial Mathematics

Combining maths, data and code to solve commercial and industrial problems.

The mechanics of soft solids

How do we mathematically describe the stresses and deformation of anisotropic soft solids.
