Research:

• My main interest are topological solitons. Please visit Kent's topological soliton group webpage.
• Click here for a publication list. Further versions of my publication list are available from the arxiv, inspire, KAR, Research Gate, ORCID, scopus, and google scholar.
  
• I am a member of the "Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft", the "London Mathematical Society" and a former member of the Edinburgh Mathematical Physics Group.
  
• I am part of the community of mathematical physicists in the South East of England.
• I am also a former Junior Member of the Newton Institute.
  
• Recent and Future Talks.
  
• My current research students are
  • Jack McKenna
  • William Grummitt
• Former PhD Students:
  • Dr Jennifer Ashcroft, ``Topological solitons and their dynamics'' (2013-2017, submitted within 4 years).
  • Dr Abera Muhamed, ``Moduli Spaces of Topological Solitons'' (2011-2015, submitted within 4 years).
  • Dr Stephen Goatham, ``Structure and Dynamics of Topological Solitons'' (2007-2012, submitted within 4 years).
• If you are interested in a PhD in the area of topological solitons please email me. For further details of all SMSAS PhD studentships click here.
• In 2012, I have been awarded the EPSRC First Grant to work with Dr David Foster on ``Skyrmion-Skyrmion Scattering and Nuclear Physics'' (EP/I034491/1). After one year of PostDoc, Dave was offered a one year lectureship here at Kent. He is now a PostDoc at Bristol. My EPSRC grant has then funded Dr Mareike Haberichter for a one-year postdoctoral position. She is now a temporary lecturer at Kent, joined with Cambridge.
• My paper with Dave Foster on Negative Baryon density and the Folding structure of the B=3 Skyrmion has been selected as an insights paper. And our B=3 Skyrmion has made it to the cover page and the SMSAS September newsletter. This paper has also been include in the Journal of Physics A's Highlights of 2013 in the Field theory and string theory section.
• A figure of my paper Classically isospinning Skyrmion solutions with Richard Battye and Mareike Haberichter has been included in the Physical Review D Kaleidoscope.
• A figure of my paper Baby Skyrme models without a potential term with Jennifer Ashcroft and Mareike Haberichter has been included in the Physical Review D Kaleidoscope.
