All about Olly
This is a page completely dedicated to the wonderfullness that is Olly. Well I wrote and designed this site.
Work
I am one of those accademic types who loiters around universities doing one thing or another. I am currently working on a cross-disipliniary project called HALOGEN to support the Roots of the British collaboration at Leicester university. As well as this I am also working for the research computing support team at the university.
I recently finished doing a post-doc at Leicester university working with the WASP folk and running LEDAS. I did a Ph.D. in astrophysics in the Physics and Astronomy department at the Open university in Milton Keynes. It means I can call myself Dr. Butters. For my undergraduate degree I read physics at Imperial College London for four years and I graduated with a first. During those four years I specialised in all things astronomical. If you are terribly interested in my work side head over and look at my CV.
Personal
I am engaged to Becca, she's the other one on the site. We met at Imperial when I was in my first year. We got engaged on the Greek island of Santorini in August 2002. I used to live in a small town called Diss, in case you don't believe me here is a link to it's website!
Interests
Well the fact that I am doing this might indicate that I like the whole web design thing. I seem to spend a lot of time doing DIY and tidying up after Bint, nothing too exciting, but certainly no physical exercise of any sort!
