Research interests

I am primarily interested in Earth’s proton radiation belt, and the exposure of orbiting satellites to trapped proton radiation. I also have an interest in numerical modelling, and am the developer of BAS-PRO, the British Antarctic Survey proton belt model.

My interests are tied together in the Sat Risk project, where I am working on implementing a real-time forecast of proton belt flux using BAS-PRO. This will be used to calculate the solar cell degradation of satellites in real time.
