Information about my work
My main research area is pulsars. Pulsars are small, dense, rotating stars and are the most fascinating objects in the Universe. You can see a cartoon of one at the top left of the screen. I like to look at single pulses and at the top right is an example of a pulse from the Vela pulsar. The ATNF pulsar group has its pages here.

I'm sure you really want to read my Papers.

And my Research Interests are listed here.
