Research Interest

Whilst my previous academic studies appear to have been very narrowly focussed in the area of astrophysics I am interested in a broad range of scientific subjects, especially those that require interdisciplinary research such as biorobotics (the study of biologically inspired machines), Complex Systems (the emergence of complex behaviours from simple rules), Origin of Life scenarios and Educational Research.
