About Me:
Australian by birth, education, but not sporting prowess, I’m a professor of theoretical particle physics in Swansea University. I use supercomputers to research how quarks interact to make up protons and neutrons, and how they behave just after the Big Bang when temperatures were trillions of Celsius – that’s hot, even for an Australian.

My Typical Day:
I try to make some progress researching how the Universe was formed, but am unfortunately often distracted by more important things.
