I am currently a Senior Researcher and head of the Industrial Maths Research Group (IMRG) at the Centre de Recerca Matematica (CRM) and also hold adjunct positions at:

1. U. Limerick, Adjunct Professor of Industrial Mathematics
2. U. Politecnica de Catalunya, Adjunct Professor.

I have over 30 years of research experience and, since 2011, have the highest research rating with the Catalan Accreditation Agency, AQU, L'Acreditació de la Recerca Avançada. (This qualification is required for the position of Full Research Professor). Between 2010-2014 I was a Marie Curie Research Fellow (International Re-Integration grant). I have been sole supervisor of 12 completed PhDs and 12 Post-docs.

In recent years I have held senior positions on 2 European councils:

1. European Consortium for Maths in Industry (council member)
2. Maths for Industry Network – MI-Net (core committee and Short Term Scientific Mission Manager).

Currently I am a member of the ECMI Research & Innovation committee. Since 2016 I have been the co-ordinator of all European
Study Groups with Industry (ESGI).

My wide training, both geographically and academically has provided me with many tools which may be used to bridge the gap between academia and industry. I have published in maths, physics, computing, engineering and nanotechnology journals. Consequently, I think of my research as being truly multi-disciplinary and with a practical focus not usually found in the
mathematical world.

I play an active role in promoting industrial and applicable mathematics throughout the world, having helped organise meetings in the UK, Spain, South Africa, Canada.

My work on phase change from a supercooled liquid is used in a commercial aircraft code. I have made advances in understanding melting at the nanoscale and explained the experimentally observed fast flow rates in carbon nanotubes; this led to the first physical explanation for the Navier slip boundary condition between a liquid and solid. Recently I proved that nanofluids do not dramatically increase heat transfer, contradicting thousands
of math papers but agreeing with experimental evidence.

I have worked on a multitude of industrial problems: to legalise rhino horn trade; carbon capture; bottle labelling; spontaneous combustion. In 2014 my work on football motion was awarded the Premi Albert Dou.

I have given keynote speeches in 5 continents and am/have been on the editorial boards for Appl. Math. Modelling, Math in Industry Case Studies and the RSME-Springer book series and am now involved in setting up the Mathematics in Industry Repository for Cambridge University Press.
