The Stirling Lecture 2024: The Geometry of Chaos - The Primacy of Doubt
Chaotic systems are hard to predict - this much has been known for decades. However, studying the fractal geometry that underpins chaotic systems reveals so much more. From a practical point of view it tells us when we can trust predictions and when we can’t.

The Christmas Lecture 2024 'Space: Shaping Tomorrow’s World'
Space is already a crucial part of our everyday lives from checking the weather report, hitting ‘buy now’ or calling family at home. Recent developments are making space more accessible as we move from large, expensive, state-driven missions to smaller, low-cost satellites developed by private companies.
