Welcome
This page serves as my personal and professional homepage. Here you will find an overview of my current research programme, a list of my publications, and details of the courses I teach. Please use the navigation panel on the left to move between sections.
My work concerns the mechanical response of loose, dry granular substrates to quasi-static surface loading, with particular attention to the depressions such loading leaves behind and their use as terrestrial analogues for small-scale impact-crater morphology. A summary of this programme, together with representative field data, is given on the Research page.
