The annual Cosmo conference for all branches of cosmology is taking place next week 7th-11th September in CERN. I will be attending and giving a talk in the inflation session on Thursday afternoon. After last week’s Science Online London 2009 conference which I attended, I have been thinking about how to get fellow cosmologists to [...]

Numerical Calculation of Second Order Perturbations
My new paper, written with Karim Malik, has just been released into the wild. We show that it is possible to numerically simulate second order perturbations for a single scalar field with a canonical action. I’ve been working on this for a long time and learned a lot about the mechanics of inflation in the [...]
New tools for a new year
As the new semester is starting in earnest, I think it’s time for me to post the first update for a few months. One of the main differences between post-graduate and under-graduate life is that as postgrads we don’t have a 3 month break over the summer. As seminars finish at the same time as [...]

My talk in Portsmouth was on Tuesday of last week, and with the exception of a bit of trouble with the train on the way down, it seemed to go well enough. I didn’t run wildly over time or commit any other glaring mistakes, but did get a bit of a grilling in the question [...]
First talk imminent
So it turns out that I am going to give a talk at UK Cosmo next week. It’s only supposed to be 18 minutes long, which you might imagine wouldn’t be that difficult to put together, but as you can tell from the lack of posts here recently, I’ve been having some problems. The talk [...]
