My work mainly focusses on how functions which parametrise the structure of hadrons (namely parton distribution functions) change if we allow for the possibility of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. A complete list of my publications and talks in the area is given below.

PhD Thesis
My PhD thesis, Parton Distributions in Beyond the Standard Model Theories, was based on my first four publications, and an
unpublished calculation comparing the 'Monte Carlo replica method' for producing interval estimates of parameters with a Bayesian method. It is available here.
