I began my career in mathematical physics working with Alan Cairns in the Institute of Mathematics of Saint Andrews University on the theory of wave-particle interaction in the hot thermo-nuclear fusion plasma of the Joint European Torus tokamak in Culham, Oxford. After a short spell working on ion cyclotron waves in the aurorae of Jupiter with David Southwood at the Blackett Laboratory of Imperial College, and a long break from the field, I am now writing up some old unpublished results as well as some new findings.
