This thesis describes biochemical and biophysical studies of two protein domains that are believed to be involved in the interaction between the merozoites of Plasmodium falciparum and human red blood cells. The parasite protein fragment derives from...

Linear and non-linear modelling of thermoacoustic instabilities in a laboratory burner
Thesis
Thermoacoustic instabilities are a mayor problem in industrial combustors, where they can lead to catastrophic hardware damage. An industrial gas turbine combustion chamber is a very complex and expensive system. Thus, a laboratory burner has been bu...

Outflows from galaxy nuclei: dynamics and implications for scaling relations
Thesis
The M–s relations observed between the masses of central massive objects (CMOs: either a nuclear star cluster or a supermassive black hole) in galaxy nuclei and the stellar velocity dispersion of their host galaxy bulges strongly suggest that the evo...

The geological and geodynamic processes that have controlled the evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region in Northern England have been investigated to expand understanding of the evolution of continental extensional basins. The region has exper... Read More about The geological and geodynamic evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region: insights from numerical modelling.
Cross-strike discontinuities and kinematic linkages within the Moine and Cantabrian thrust belts
Thesis
Abrupt lateral changes in thrust geometry occur in many mountain-building fold-thrust belts. Whilst many works have dealt with palinspastic reconstructions and transport-directionparallel balanced cross-sections, far fewer show a full three-dimension...

On the compositional variability of dalyite, K2ZrSi6O15: a new occurrence from Terceira, Azores
Journal Article
The rare potassium zirconium silicate dalyite has been identified for the first time on Terceira, Azores, within syenitic ejecta of the Caldeira-Castelinho Ignimbrite Formation. New quantitative analyses of this dalyite were combined with the small n... Read More about On the compositional variability of dalyite, K2ZrSi6O15: a new occurrence from Terceira, Azores.
Spectral analyses of solar-like stars
Thesis
Accurate stellar parameters are important not just to understand the stars themselves, but also for understanding the planets that orbit them. Despite the availability of high quality spectra, there are still many uncertainties in stellar spectroscop... Read More about Spectral analyses of solar-like stars.
Asteroseismology with SuperWASP
Presentation / Conference
The highly successful SuperWASP planetary transit finding programme has surveyed a large fraction of both the northern and southern skies. There now exists in the its archive over 420 billion photometric measurements for more than 31 million stars. S... Read More about Asteroseismology with SuperWASP.
