I joined the observatory staff in October 1998. After graduating from Cardiff University (1987-1990) I was based at Jodrell Bank (1990-1995) and the MPIfR, Bonn (1995-1998). My research is principally concerned with the search for radio pulsars in the disk of our Galaxy and its globular cluster system. This work is carried out with a number of collaborators and uses some of the classic radio telescopes around the world. Of particular interest are those pulsars in binary systems where the orbiting companion is a white dwarf, a main sequence star, another neutron star, and (perhaps soon!) a stellar mass black hole. For an introduction to this field, see this review article. I maintain the Arecibo Pulsar Pages which includes a database of pulse profiles. My PhD thesis (1994) is available as well as a collection of images and a whole bunch of other stuff! Material I use for talks is being gathered here. I've been known to do the odd ridiculous dance in my spare time. Click here for a chortle.
