After working as an industrial electrical and electronic engineer for over fifteen years, Nigel studied for a BSc Hons Degree in Geophysics at Liverpool University, U.K., graduating in 1997.  He then moved to Keele University, Staffordshire, U.K. where, in 2001, he completed his PhD on the ‘Mathematical Modelling of Near-Surface Ground Penetrating Radar’.  Since then, he has been a lecturer in Applied Geophysics in the same institution and has actively led the development of the University’s GPR and electromagnetic research activities.  In 2003, Nigel became the Chairman of the Environmental and Industrial Geophysics Group (EIGG), a specialist group of the Geological Society, and is currently involved in the promotion of U.K., near-surface geophysics both nationally and overseas. His primary research interests are in the development of mathematical modelling techniques and dielectric testing methods for a wide range of GPR, electromagnetic and geophysical applications.
