Biographical

Past

I grew up in Derbyshire. There's some beautiful scenery nearby, well worth a visit if you happen to pass that way, and the weather is fine.

I used to go to Jesus College, Cambridge. While there, I studied physics at the Cavendish Laboratory.

I also used to go to Merton College, Oxford. From there I obtained a doctorate in theoretical astrophysics. My research work was done at the Rudolf Peierls Centre, and was supervised by James Binney.

Present

I'm a clinical medical student at St Peter's College, Oxford. I follow the graduate-entry (4 year) track.

I currently live in the city of Oxford.

Miscellaneous factoids

I have an Erdős number of 5. (how?)

Research

I used to research Galactic dynamics. However, I no longer work in this field.

I hope to get involved in medical research at some point soon, although I think I'd better learn some medicine first.

Talks

Do you expect me to talk? If so, get in touch.
