Future electrical transmission and distribution technologies including switchgear, power lines, transformers, motors and generators. I am the Deputy Director for Data at the Centre for Trials Research and a senior trials methodologist with expertise in the design and conduct of large, often complex multi-disciplinary trials and studies that use routinely collected data (routine data) and/or linked data to deliver policy-relevant population health research.

I work across a range of trials and observational studies designing the data flows, consent models and governance appropriate for the data sources and study design. The following studies exemplify my growing portfolio of research that works with new data sources or using novel data flows to deliver robust policy-relevant population health research: Research Associate IET Power Networks Research Academy funded project entitled: 'Alternatives to SF6 as an Insulation Medium for Distribution Equipment' in the advanced high voltage engineering research centre (HIVES).Widger, T.

Thus I am exploring the simple observation that the poor give differently to the rich, and as such our current theories of charity and humanitarianism fail to adequately capture the experiences of those at the bottom of the social pyramid. I am currently preparing a monograph on poverty, charity, and 'the empathetic life' in Sri Lanka. Arguing that if for the wealthy the poor exist as a distal fantasy and 'bare life,' 'the poor' for the poor exist as a proximate reality and 'reciprocated life.'

Establishing a leading research capability in the processing, characterisation, manufacturing and recycling of specialist magnetic materials. I obtained my PhD in anthropology from the London School of Economics in 2009, and have since held research fellowships at Brunel, Sussex, and Durham, I am currently a Visiting Fellow at Brunel and the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka.

Modern Asian Studies, 48(03), 791-825. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0026749x1200073x My Research activity is associated with the Advanced High Voltage Engineering Research Centre, Lightning laboratory and the Magnetics Materials and Applications Research Group. I have experience of large-scale laboratory developments, designing and conducting experimental pilot projects. I am interested in future materials that will help reduce carbon emissions and environmental impact to meet net zero targets and improve efficiency of the electrical power generation, transmission and distribution networks. Previously I was a member of the International Cigre Standards working group for alternative insulation gases for high voltage energy networks.
