Here you can find out a bit about what I have been up to in my life to date,
the schools I have attended and places that I have worked, projects that I have
worked on if you are interested, so indeed a veritable mini CV. The idea is to
have links to everything linkable but this could take a while to accomplish so
please bear with me and if any of the links are dead or inaccurate then let me
know and I will do what I can to track down the correct ones.
OK here goes with the life history:
- From the age of about 10 till 16 I was at
Birkdale School in Sheffield. This
is an Independant School for boys, but dont be decieved, we're not that rich.
Here I took my GCSE's and was heavilly involved in music and drama at the
school (which helped me to win a Music Exhibition). I was in numerous
productions which were great fun, did Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh
awards and had great time. It was also through the school that I got
involved in Sheffield
Cathedral Choir, where I sung for some 8 years or so!
- After that I did my A-Level study at Eckington School
in Derbyshire. There I was also Deputy Head boy and got involved Young
Enterprise but apart from that, I just kind of worked hard really!
- Next I went to the University of York
to do a degree in Chemistry
but as part of that I also spent a year studying at the
RWTH in Aachen, Germany, spending most of my time working in the X-ray
structure determination group known as the AKS.
- More recently I have just started a DPhil. at the York Structural Biology Centre
where I am currently working on a project about Calmodulin, an intracellular signalling protein. Try some of the following links to see exactly what I have been working on so far. Slide shows of presentations that I have given and some progress reports as well. I will put any publications on here as well if I ever write any and links to any other projects in which I have been involved.
As I mentioned above, you can request a full copy of my CV by clicking here or just send me an email telling me who you are, what kind of position you are looking to fill, and of course in what format you would like the document e.g. MS Word version... PDF...
| Reports
- 12 Month Progress Report: It is standard practice in this department to compose a report at the end of the first year of research for a DPhil project. This is my report submitted at the end of August 1999. Needless to say that it is already out of date.
| Final Thesis
- Final D.Phil Thesis: This is a PDF of teh final submitted version of my DPhil thesis. Sadly without the cartoons - you will have to find a hard copy for that!!
| Other Projects
- Magnesium Binding to Calmodulin: This is some work I did for Daniel Lafitte at the University of Warwick. I hasten to add that it was not very thorough but showed some interesting potential.
