==Information==

I am an [[Obstetrics]] & [[Gynaecology]] trainee, having completed my foundation training in the North West of England. I studied Medicine at Cardiff and Swansea Universities. Prior to this I studied at several Universities in the North of England gaining undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Astronomy and Astrophysics.

I am married with 1 child and another on the way.

'''PhD Title:''' ''A Spectroscopic Study of the Rapidly Oscillating Peculiar A Star HD 134214''

During my PhD I studied the photometric and spectroscopic properties of [[rapidly oscillating Ap stars|roAp stars]], in particular HD 134214. I performed a detailed abundance analysis of this star and also analysed the radial velocity variations, in order to try and gain a better understanding of the structure of the atmosphere of HD 134214 and the pulsations therein.

==My Interests==
My special areas of interest are Astronomy and Medicine and I have a particular interest in trying to keep articles in these subjects of high quality.

I am also a great follower and player of rugby, snooker and darts. In particular I follow [[Sale Sharks]] in [[Rugby Union]] and [[Wakefield Trinity Wildcats]] in [[Rugby League]]. I have also attended the [[World Snooker Championships]] on many occasions. I also try (and often fail) to spend time growing fruit and vegetables in my garden.
