Research
Paul’s research focused on seafarers, looking at fatigue and later the use of technology onboard ships. The Cardiff Seafarers’ fatigue project ran for 7 years, and was explored in a 30 minute film made as part of an ESRC knowledge exchange grant (the winner of an innovation and impact award in 2012). Paul was later involved in two European funded projects, the FP6 funded Flagship project, and the FP7 funded CASCADe project.
