Overview
My current role sees me splitting my time between Cardiff University and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. This means I spend half my time lecturing and researching and the other half putting what I teach into practise.
I'm a relatively late entrant into academia having completed my PhD in 2020. I started my career in the Forces and subsequent worked in manufacturing industries and then the public sector before completing a PhD in operational research.
I have travelled extensively or worked abroad for most of my career and one of the things I really enjoy about the academic environment is the cultural diversity of my colleagues and students.
