Publications

This is a relatively complete list of publications I’ve contributed to as a primary or second author. Where possible I’ve included links to the papers either directly, or to an external website. All publications are listed chronologically.

If a paper is unavailable and you’d like a copy., please contact me and I will try to hunt it down and/or give you one directly.
