Biography
I have worked extensively in the US in the field of fundamental atomic physics. Between 2000 and 2006 I was involved in multidisciplinary teams that had expertise in both Food Technology and Marine Science. My work in that period involved a combination of very applied physics, such as the cooking of wheat and limpet adhesion mechanisms, together with more fundamental physics, such as the characterisation of conjugated polymers and the photo-dissociation of molecules. I am currently working in several teams studying diverse topics such as fundamental molecular physics, food science and human nutrition.
