In April 1999 I finished my PhD in Applied Maths at The Queen's University of Belfast. My research involved numerically solving the full 5-D TDSE for a helium atom in an intense laser field. To do this we used some of the latest massively-parallel supercomputers, in particular the EPCC Cray T3D and the new Manchester CfS T3E-1200E. You can find more information here.

I am now working for N.A.G. Ltd. developing parallel libraries for shared and distributed memory computers.
