Biography
I am a lecturer in Biophysics in the University of Edinburgh, in the soft condensed matter group. Before that, I was a post-doc in Warwick University (Oct 04- Mar 06, working with Nigel Burroughs in the Maths Institute), in Oxford University (Oct 02-Sep 04, working in Julia Yeomans's group in the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics), and, even before (Nov 99- Oct 02), a PhD student in SISSA/ISAS in Trieste, Italy, Sector of Statistical and Biological Physics. I am interested in soft condensed matter physics, in statistical mechanics and in biological physics.
