Personal profile
Research interests
I carry out fundamental and applied research on sensing technologies for infrastructure and geophysical applications. I have specific interests in computational modelling and optimisation of electromagnetic (EM) sensing systems, and am lead developer of gprMax – one of the most widely used simulation tools for EM subsurface modelling.
I also have research interests in the fields of engineering education and technology enhanced learning.
Biography
I joined Northumbria University in June 2017 following 7 years at The University of Edinburgh in which I held teaching and research roles.
I hold degrees in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (BEng (Hons), 2003), and Civil Engineering (Ph.D., 2009) from The University of Edinburgh.
I have a specific interest in computational modelling and optimisation of electromagnetic (EM) sensing systems, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).
I am lead developer of open-source software - gprMax - which simulates electromagnetic wave propagation. It is the most widely used software for modelling GPR, and is also used for a diverse range of other applications in industry and academia.
I was a workgroup project leader in COST Action TU1208 “Civil Engineering Applications of GPR”.
I am a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (FHEA), and a member of both the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and the Institution of Engineering Technology (IET).
I am also a petrol-head and wannabe rock drummer.
