| Personal background |
|---|
With a B.Sc.(Hons.) degree in physics with astrophysics
from the University of Manchester, I applied to the Met Office in 1989.Â
At interview, I made the mistake of mentioning I had worked with microwave
radiometers at Jodrell Bank - hence I got posted to the Remote Sensing
branch, where I have lived happily ever after.
My work has included the analysis of AMSU-B radiometric
and antenna tests, and the development of the new microwave radiometer
"Deimos" for the Met Office's research aircraft.
Since then, I have been planning, conducting and
analysing experiments to validate radiative transfer models in clear air
using aircraft data gathered during jollies in Ascension Island and Kalmar,
Sweden. More recently, I planned and lead an aircraft experiment to measure sea ice emissivity in the arctic, "POLEX".
I have been married to Ali since 1992, and have
two daughters, Jessica,
who was born on 10th October 1997, and Emily Daisy, born on 30th March 2000.Â
We live in a Victorian house in Reading, which has correspondingly been
enlarged to accommodate the kids (and their associated junk).

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Life exists. It always will, where ever it can. Universally technological life forms are rare,
or we would know about it. But if you dont look you wont find.
Meanwhile I have been developing a method of time travel.
