I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Bath (UK). I have worked here since 1999, starting as a postdoctoral researcher. Before that, I worked as Senior Scientific Office at the Southampton Oceanography Centre (earlier at the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Deacon Laboratory) and even before that, as a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Oceanography, University of Washington. I have a PhD in Physics (Remote Sensing) from Paris-Jussieu, working on radar imagery from Venus, and a pure Physics background from the Universities of Paris-Orsay and Rouen Haute-Normandie (France). I am also a Chartered Geologist, a Fellow of the Geological Society of London, and a Fellow of the Institute of Acoustics.
