Scientific Activities
I am a Deputy Director of Business Engagement and Innovation in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and a member of the Public Engagement Strategic Advisory Group at the University of Exeter. I am also the University of Exeter's representative for the Grimm Network – which seeks to continue the pioneering work of Professor Uwe Grimm who was instrumental in facilitating the collaboration of UK researchers in aperiodic order from diverse mathematics and physics backgrounds.
Below is a selection of scientific meetings, public engagement activities, and seminars series I have organised and co‑organised.
