Research Interests:
Research has included work on: (a) magnetism including, especially, studies of spin-phonon interactions in rare-earth ethylsulphate crystals; (b) quantum fluids and liquid helium-4 in particular; (c) nonlinear dynamics and fluctuational phenomena including applications to physiology.
Current research centres on superfluid helium-4 and nonlinear dynamics and medical physics.
