| Title | CVolver and Parton Branching algorithms |
| Description | A large amount of my PhD has been devoted to developing an understanding of Partonic Branching at Amplitude level. This has directly fed into the development of a new parton shower algorithm (and computer code) called CVolver. CVolver is being developed such that it will be available as a part of the HERWIG event generator in the future. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | CVolver will be used to better understand the radiation pattern from proton-proton collisions in the large hadron collider. |

| Description | ESI Vienna research in teams |
| Organisation | University of Vienna |
| Country | Austria |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | I worked at Vienna univeristy from 13/01/2020 until the 14/02/2020. Whilst their I worked closely with Simon Platzer (an associate at the university). Two publications have followed from my work there. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Vienna university hosted me, facilitating face to face meetings that otherwise could not have occurred. This greatly aided my research progress. |
| Impact | Two publications have followed from my work at the university of vienna. |

| Description | Constructing Knowledges (twice) |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | Local |
| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | I helped organise and presented at an interdisciplinary workshop series in Manchester. The workshop was aimed at postgraduate students in all areas of research though also maintained a wider audience. The idea was to discuss topics of broader importance to the general public (global warming, academic outreach, etc) and learn from how different research areas approach these topics. Multiple outreach events were direct products of these workshops. |
