Profile summary

In my role as Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) I carry out pure and applied research, maintain international collaborations, run a research group with a wide variety of interests, supervise undergraduate and post-graduate students, teach undergraduate and post-graduate modules in a range of subjects, manage research budgets and carry out administrative duties.

In my role as Warden I am the Head of Bonington Hall, which is a student hall, currently with ca. 525 undergraduate and post-graduate residents.  I am responsible for promoting the cultural ethos of the Hall and for student welfare, safety and discipline. To assist me in this I lead a group of 12 Resident Tutors, a Deputy Warden and a Warden’s Secretary. I manage social and infrastructural budgets, chair committees within the Hall and liaise closely with Hall Catering and Accommodation management (which are two separate private companies) and with the resident students. I also represent the Hall to relevant academic departments and to the University as a whole. I am the host of around six large banquets each year.
