Short history: BSc from the University of London, PhD from Cambridge, then research in the USA and Canada before coming to Sydney in 2000 to take a position with the Anglo-Australian Observatory. Moved to the University of Sydney in 2002 where I am now a Professor of Astrophysics, with research focusing upon dark matter and dark energy.
