Research interests
I joined Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre, an Institute of the School of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Edinburgh, in 2001.
My research interests encompass Computational Physics and sciencetific software development, particularly in the context of High Performance Computing.
Teaching
I teach an introductory course for undergraduates on scientific programming in Java. I have also provided more advanced courses on programming (Fortran) and parallel computing.
