I am a Senior Research Fellow working at the interface between Computer Science and Physics. I am currently a member of the Computer Science department and was previosuly a member of the Astrophysics group. My astrophysics publications can be found on ADS.
Research Interests
My current research interests relate to scientific computing using current and future High Performance Computing architectures, and the development of the associated algorithms. I am Exeter's co-lead on the GW4 Isambard system which provides a range of advanced architectures to enable performance comparisons and algorithm development for next generation hardware.

Teaching
I am module leader for the "High Performance Computing" module (ECM3446/ECMM461). This module is available in the third year of the undergraduate Computer Science programme (ECM3446) and Computer Science MSc programmes (ECMM461). If you are a PhD student who would like to attend the module please register using the taught module request form.
