Since 1996 I have been a faculty member in the School of Physics at the University of Bristol, where I carry out research in astrophysics and lecture in physics and astronomy.

My primary research interests are in extragalactic astrophysics and X-ray astronomy. Current projects focus primarily on the environments, active nuclei, and jets of radio galaxies, and the multi-wavelength emission of all classes of radio-loud AGN. My publication list is available via a search on the Astrophysics Data System.

Major review papers are here:

The X-ray jets of active galaxies. The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, Volume 17, Issue 1, 1-46 (2009). [Published by Springer]
Multiwavelength evidence of the physical processes in radio jets. Lecture Notes in Physics, 693, 39-76 (2006)

Scanned copies of documents that are hard to get hold of elsewhere:

Origin of cosmic gamma rays Ph.D. thesis, University of Durham
Population properties of AGN in the soft X-ray band Proc. 23rd ESLAB Symp, Bologna (ESA SP-296, Nov 1989), pp 719-726

Current activities include:

Editorial board of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society .
Associate Scientist for the XMM Survey Science Center.
Science Team for Generation-X .

Earlier years were spent as a research scientist in the United States, at the Laboratory for High Energy Astrophysics at NASA/GSFC, at the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences at UC-San Diego, and at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), to which I remain affiliated. I helped to establish the Chandra Science Center where I was a scientist for several years. I've been on the science teams for Constellation-X and XEUS , which were later combined as the International X-ray Observatory (IXO). Return to or visit the homepage of the Bristol Astrophysics Group.
