Research Interests

Modelling of the electrical behaviour of the human brain during natural sleep, focussing particularly on the transitions between sleep states. This research is supported by the Marsden fund.

Previous research interests include infra-red physics and signature control (stealth) and quantum Monte Carlo methods.
