WFCAM & VISTA Science Archives
I'm now a software developer for the wide-field astronomy unit (WFAU) of the
IfA at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. Presently we are developing the
science archives to store the infrared survey data taken by both the WFCAM
instrument installed on the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) and the new
purpose-built survey telescope VISTA in the Southern Hemisphere. Find out

PhD Research
For my PhD I developed a radiative transfer code for high-energy
astrophysical emission processes, which we cunningly named the
High-
Energy
Astrophysics
Radiative
Transfer code or (the HEART code). In fact, this acronym is a rather
good one, as the HEART code, will lie at the
heart of any model to
explain the time varying spectra from high-energy astrophysical sources. For
example the HEART code can be used to model the broadband emission from
relativistic jets and accretion disc coronae.
