Research interests primarily focuses on the use of analytical, computational and experimental methods for:

• Pulsed breakdown of solid-solid dielectric interfaces and flashover of solid-gas interfaces.
• Computational modelling of fast ionisation fronts/streamer discharges and their interaction with dielectric materials.
• HV insulation coordination, with particular interest in the characteristics of gas and gas-solid insulation under impulsive electrical stress.
• Novel applications of pulsed power and low temperature plasmas.

Teaching experience includes acting as a Teaching Assistant/Demonstrator for the following classes:

• EE107 - Electronic and Electrical Principles 1
