My name is Jon James. I am a retired scientist living on the Camarthenshire-Pembrokeshire border in West Wales. My first degree, from the University of East Anglia, was in theoretical physics. I then went on to study for an MSc in ‘The Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations’ at Reading University while on day release from the Uk Meteorological Office, where I worked on numerical weather and climate prediction.
Returning to academia I obtained a Phd with a dissertation based on the brain imaging technique Magnetoencephalography. I then joined the physics and engineering department of the Open University where I worked on the use of neutron diffraction to measure residual stress in engineering components and archaeological artifacts.
I enjoyed contributing to various Open University courses before retiring as Senior Research Fellow in 2016.
