Astronomy research



My research interests include:

Detection and measurement of terrestial impact craters using pattern recognition algorithms

Analytical and numerical studies of the three body problem

Image processing and pattern recognition methods applied to planetary impact craters

Smart dust for planetary exploration

Gravitational Lensing

Abstracts of recent work presented to the Royal Astronomical Society National Astronomy Conference at the University of Central Lancashire, Preston, April 2007.

P25.13 Pattern recognition techniques for remote detection of impact crater morphology on planetary surfaces

P25.14 Autonomous smart dust clusters for remote planetary exploration

I am also involved in the Dark Sky Scotland project
