His university research focused on developing new radar pulse codes and the near-Earth phenomena of Ultra Low Frequency waves.

James’s enjoyment of teaching and enthusing others led him to present at the Festival of Postgraduate Research and he was delighted to be awarded with the Greenbank Master Prize for the best presentation and the Researchers in Residence Highly Commended Prize. This event sparked a hidden desire to design and deliver, what is characteristically difficult subject matter, in a clear and entertaining manner. On a personal note, he enjoys: tennis, table tennis, snowboarding, running, visiting historical sites, playing the classical guitar, football, cooking, and having a good Adnams beer.
