Group

I'm privileged to have, or have had, some kind of supervisory role in the following scientists' careers. In mathematics, people work more independently than the lab-based sciences, but the slightly inappropriate term 'Group' seems to have stuck.

If you'd like to work with me at any career stage, please get in touch to discuss scientific and funding possibilities. You'll see that 'alumni' generally got to do interesting and worthwhile research and then go on to get good jobs in academia, the public sector, and industry.
