Research Projects

My research can be grouped into four broad themes:

Swinging Motions in Sport
Optimisation of the swing - for velocity - in (field) hockey, golf, baseball
Paddle Sports
Sprint kayaking and canoeing, swivel seats and the measurement of on-water performance
Insect Flight Aerodynamics
The mechanics of hawkmoth flight: wing kinematics during free hovering and forward flight; 3D stereophotogrammetry of flow around the wings (including leading-edge vortices)
Other Stuff That Seemed Interesting
Dog vision, detecting human emotions, lizard locomotion, dive starts in swimming, hawkmoth pollination
