Biography

 

In the academic world I have worked at the University of Glasgow, Argonne National Laboratory (near Chicago, USA), CERN and the University of Edinburgh.

At some point I became a fully qualified teacher, specialising in secondary mathematics. Then for ten years I worked at Oxford University Press where I was the commissioning editor for maths books in secondary schools.

I have some publications but they are a bit dated now. The curious can find a list on this database INSPIRE

There is even a book I helped write with Gunther Dissertori (ETH, Zurich) and Michael Schmelling (MPI, Heidelberg); it is a bit specialist Quantum Chromodynamics: High Energy Experiments and Theory
