Ian was previously a member of the Management Team of Nagra (the Swiss national radioactive waste management organisation) and Director of its International Services and Projects Division, where he was responsible for the development of an extremely successful international consulting service, the operation of the underground Grimsel Test Site and establishment of the International Training Centre.

Ian has contributed to planning, implementation, documentation and review of most major geological disposal performance assessments in Switzerland and Japan, initiated seminal geo-microbiology, radionuclide migration and natural analogue projects and has extensive experience in international expert groups, advisory teams and programme committees. Currently predominantly involved in repository concept development, knowledge management and safety case support projects for a range of UK and Japanese clients. He also supports projects for recovery after the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident and preparation for eventual site clean-up.

Ian is also the author/co-author of three books and about 350 technical papers, reports, articles and book chapters covering all areas of waste management.
