Before joining NAG in 1993, Jeremy was the leader of the visualization activity at BP Research, which involved development and consultancy with all parts of the BP Group. Prior to that, he performed research in the molecular simulation of adsorption for BP and, from 1984 to 1985, he was a post-doctoral researcher at Cornell University, developing computer codes for the microscopic modelling of fluid interfaces.
