      I have done many things. I have tried to write maths to work out how much force your knee can withstand if you a force on it. So if you jump, how high can you jump before your knee can’t take the force when you hit the ground.

      I have tried to write maths to explain how skin grows and why it only grows to a certain height.

      Now I write maths to work out how X-rays damage crystals made of proteins. Have a look at this animation that I helped to make which explains it: http://www.oxfordsparks.net/video/case-crystal-clarity
