Meet the people who make up STEM Faculty.
I worked at the Open University from 1982 to 2014, first in the Faculty of Science and then (from 2005) in the Faculty of Health and Social Care. I retired in July 2014 and am currently an Honorary Associate in the School of Environment, Earth & Ecosystem Sciences in the Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
For more information about my background, experience, teaching and research, see my personal website.
I continue to carry out research as an Honorary Associate in the School of Environment, Earth & Ecosystem Sciences. My research interests lie in animal behaviour and evolution. In the past, I have studied the behaviour of red deer, peacocks and bushcrickets! Since my retirement, I have returned to bushcricket research.
I have also carried out extensive work in e-learning. My most recent work in this area was the EADDLS project, of which I was co-director.
More information about my research and a list of selected publications can be found on my personal website.
During my OU career, I contributed materials to modules on health and social care, animal behaviour, evolution, animal physiology, human neurophysiology, and the environment.
More information about my teaching can be found on my personal website.
