Overview

On this page you can find links to my published works and details of the conferences I have presented my work at. Where allowed (i.e. the articles are open access*), I have included download links for pdfs of articles and conference posters. You can access my PhD on the University of Leicester Research Archive.

*Open access publication means that the articles are free for anyone to read, and not behind a paywall. Typically, it is the authors (or their institutions) who pay the open access costs, but not all journal offer this as an option and not all authors can afford to do this all of the time. Most journals now allow authors to post pre-prints, or follow a 'green open access' model whereby the unedited accepted version of an article can be posted in an online repository. If you have any difficulties accessing the full text of any of my publications, please contact me.
