Fraser has been working with FT since December 2004, and completed his degree in Physical Science with the Open University in 2005. He gained a PhD in 2010 under the supervision of Paul Roche, Simon Clark and Andrew Norton (Open University). He is based at Cardiff University and UK National Co-ordinator for the EU-funded FP7 ‘Go-Lab’ project, aimed at inspiring learners with STEM through the use of online labs. He is also Operations Officer for the National Schools’ Observatory at Liverpool John Moores University.
