I am also Head of Year for Part IB Materials Science and Metallurgy, and Assistant Director of Studies in Natural Sciences (Physical) at Fitzwilliam College. If you wish to contact me for any reason, e.g. to discuss a lecture, rearrange a supervision or just for general advice, then my contact details are given below. My preferred mode of communication is e-mail.

Visitors from outside Cambridge who would like to use teaching material in their own course are welcome to do so, but please contact me before doing so and include acknowledgments. I have tried to acknowledge all prior copyrights, but please inform me if you feel there have been any infringements. I would be grateful for any constructive feedback and reports of typographical errors.
