I have been particularly interested in the colliding plane wave problem, and in the interpretation of exact solutions describing the propagation of gravitational waves in backgrounds of cosmological significance. My initial research was in neutrino fields. I have also considered space-times with torsion.
I took early retirement in October 2009 and retrained as a Mountain Leader. Since then, I have spent much time travelling in various mountain regions.
