Pete has over 24 years' experience in radiological assessments modelling, specialising in atmospheric dispersion modelling of radionuclides. Pete has significant experience in the application of Gaussian plume modelling and more complex and comprehensive dispersion modelling approaches within the context of radiological assessments, and was seconded to the UK Met Office to work on the NAME model for this purpose (and also has a number of publications in this field).

Pete has been heavily involved in contributions to WHO's and UNSCEAR's assessments of the levels of exposure to members of the public following the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in 2011 (and has also published a peer reviewed paper in this field); heavily involved in the European research project "CONFIDENCE" (COping with UNcertainties For Improved Modelling and DEcision making in Nuclear Emergencies) from 2017-2019; and lead elements of the European research project "PREDICT" (ImPRovements in atmospheric dispErsion moDellIng and proteCTive action strategies in case of nuclear detonations) from 2024-2026.
