Author of over 180 research papers in the fields of neutron
scattering and computer modelling. Over 100 invited talks, seminars
etc. Specialises in studies of the structures (including magnetic
structures) of all types of disordered materials, from high
temperature superconductors to liquid metal alloys. Has a special
interest in software development. Developer of the reverse Monte
Carlo (RMC) method of structural modelling.
