I am the laboratory manager for the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit. I oversee the radiocarbon dating of the samples which are submitted to our laboratory.
My research interests centre on the application of radiocarbon dating to archaeology, palaeoclimatology and authentication studies. I am also interested in the development of pretreatement methods for radiocarbon dating.
I am a media spokesperson for radiocarbon dating as well as the application of radiocarbon to identify fraud in the ivory trade.
