About

I study cracked pots — their formation, their persistence and what they tell us about the vessels around them. This is a demonstration site: Josiah Carberry is a fictional researcher that ORCID and Crossref use for testing.

My group combines field observation with mathematical models of fracture. We are always glad to hear from prospective students; see the Group page.
