Research ..... Research ..... Research!
Research plays a vital role in improving our knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live. None of the advances made in science and technology today would be possible without the years of hard work and pain staking research that takes place to underpin innovation.
Below are just a few of the areas of research in which I am involved.

- Conducted experiments in 2 ESA Parabolic Flight Campaigns to date
- Used as a means of simulating microgravity
- Each parabola gives around a 25 second period of weightlessness
- Used to train astronauts for future space flight
- Used to conduct short term microgravity & technological investigations
