Consultation Time

To be set when I know lab times and other commitments. At the moment you can attempt to come and see me at anytime in N233, or email me for a specific time.

Detailed Schedule

This is a tentative timetable and schedule for 2008. The course will be built around case study that will evolve from molecular dynamics to simulating the motion of a cloth. The course will include a guest lecture and a visit to the APAC national facility.
