Biographical information

I took BSc and PhD degrees at Sheffield before taking up my lectureship in 1987. I have also been involved in both the local and national activities of the Royal Statistical Society and am a Chartered Statistician.

Research interests

My main research interests lie in the practical application of statistics to geology and materials science. A long term concern has been the modelling of particle size, with investigations into its relationship with sediment transport processes and strength of composite materials. Other recent projects include the use of classification methods in pollen analysis, the design of resistant glazes and the production of computer-assisted-learning materials.
