I have a background in academia, working specifically in the field of Polymer Technology and Engineering and was employed as a senior lecturer within London Metropolitan University. I have also held a lecturing post at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and have been employed as a consultant with the British Plastics Federation and at the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. I now run the Cyprus Centre at London Metropolitan University.

Over the years I have organised and been involved with a great many outreach programmes and study days both at Londonmet and in New Zealand. I continue to present science lectures and talks to school pupils in such diverse locations as the Tower of London, the Royal Society and the British Library as well as visiting schools across the UK.
