About Me
Hi --- I'm Ben, an Applied Mathematician from Northampton.
Currently, I'm a PhD student at The University of Manchester in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Most of what I'm doing day-to-day involves numerics and fluid simulation. At the moment I'm developing acoustic boundary conditions for combustion simulation.
Beyond this I've got many interests, including ultimate frisbee, reading, sci-fi, fiddling about with computers in various ways (including, for example, making a website) and a lot more.
