Really delighted to end 2019 with the news that my last two PhD students from Liverpool both successfully defended their viva, subject to minor corrections.

Dr Tom Woodroof worked with me, Dr Andy Boston and Dr James Cooper on a project to investigate the potential and protocols for using Compton geometry gamma imaging to quantitatively track the distribution and movement of caesium through soil columns. He is shortly due to start a research position at the Institute for Cancer Research.

Dr Dan Tudor worked with me, Dr Ming Li, Prof Karl Whittle and Dr Mark Bankhead (NNL) on the development of novel agent-based modelling approaches for simulation and investigation of colloid transport and aggregation processes in porous media, with particular reference to SIXEP wastewater filtration systems at the Sellafield plant.
