Publications

In January 2017, I heard the news that University of Southampton was to migrate their publication repository away from eprints. Upon hearing the news, I got all nostalgic and decided to collect my academic publications on my own website, before they disappeared from the internet. The papers were a decade old. I doubt they would be of interest to the academic community. However, I’d like to keep them here as a memory, for myself.

Publications from my time as a postdoc at the University of Southampton should be complete. I uploaded everything onto eprints. The list of papers was captured from eprints in February 2017. Publications from my PhD years at the University of Auckland was found from google searches.
