I am a Senior Lecturer (and former Royal Society University Research Fellow) working in the Astronomy & Astrophysics Group at the School of Physics & Astronomy of the University of Glasgow. A brief c.v. is at the bottom of this page and my university profile is here.
My research is focused on the physical processes behind the emission we observe in solar flares (or explosive bursts) in the Sun's atmosphere. I study this primarily through multi-wavelength observations combined with theory and numerical simulations. I am particularly interested in small active region flares (microflares and smaller) and also quiet sun emission. I have studied these with the solar X-ray telescope RHESSI, and now with the astrophysics X-ray telescope NuSTAR probing the emission from these weak events (pr/news: first observations, full-sun mosaic, quiet Sun observation, active sun mosaic). My overview of these solar NuSTAR observations is available on GitHub Pages.
