Role: Professor
Research Interests:
The broad research aim is to understand motor control and its disorders in humans, using both normal volunteers and selected patients with well-characterised abnormalities. One major theme is the role of vestibular reflexes in motor control as well as their diagnostic role, a second is understanding the causes of postural instability in neurological disease such as Parkinson's...

Role: Head of School
I am an applied mathematician. I use dynamical systems analyses, stochastic modelling and queueing theory, amongst other techniques to answer questions arising from fields other than mathematics. My research is in mathematical modelling, particularly in biomedicine and biology. The investigations in which I am currently involved range from understanding the dynamics of fundamental protein-...
