Research
I am a PhD student in Queen Mary, University of London studying early universe cosmology. My current interests include brane cosmology and cosmological perturbation theory.
My recent publications are listed in the SPIRES database and include:
- Gravitational Wave Constraints on Multi-Brane Inflation.
Ian Huston, James E. Lidsey (Queen Mary, U. of London, Math. Sci.) , Steven Thomas (Queen Mary, U. of London) , John Ward (Victoria U.) . Feb 2008. 18pp.
Published in JCAP 0805:016,2008.

I am currently the Postgraduate representative for the Astronomy Unit, and organize the student seminars on Friday afternoons. I also organise the General Relativity and Cosmology Discussion group which takes place every Wednesday afternoon during term time.
I have organised a few different meetings including the first GradCATS meeting for PhD students and the first String and Cosmology Student Conference between French and British students. I am also organising the December meeting of the UK Cosmo group.
I have also written a few blog posts about graduate physics and tools for science.
Personal
Originally from Dublin, Ireland, I have lived in London for the past few years. I enjoy sailing and windsurfing whenever I can, but am quite content in front of a computer screen.
You can have a look at my public facebook page or my slightly out-of-date last.fm profile .
