Publications
All publications that I have been involved with are listed here. You should be able to get them from various sources but as a last resort I could find a pdf. Just send me an email. DGC is the sole author of all these papers unless otherwise stated. Most of these papers are available on Researchgate. I have now (May-2017) uploaded them.
