The vast majority of young drug users see substance use as a positive experience. Why else would they continue to take them? Most research on the other hand pathologises drug use by looking solely at the negative consequences, contributing to the mis...

Our previous research has shown that observing patterns of eye fixations is a successful method of establishing differences in underlying cognitive processes between groups of drivers. Eye movements recorded from drivers in a laboratory while they wa... Read More about Eye fixation scanpaths of younger and older drivers in a hazard perception task.

Risk aversion in maintenance : overmaintenance and the principal-agent problem (2005)
Journal Article

Photonic band gap properties of GaP opals with a new topology (2005)
Journal Article

In this paper, we propose that the “anomalous” optical response exhibited by GaP and InP infiltrated opals is due to the peculiar morphology shown by these materials when grown within the pores. In order to account for their optical response, we prop... Read More about Photonic band gap properties of GaP opals with a new topology.
