Dr Richardson joined Norwich School in 2007. Having studied Environmental Science at UEA, he worked for a while in the Cloud Physics Department of the Met Office, before returning to UEA to complete a PhD in Mathematical Modelling of the Climate System. This involved lots of differential equations, fluid dynamics and vector calculus, and considering how best we can use mathematical equations to help us solve real world problems. As well as teaching Maths, Dr Richardson is also head of Valpy House, coaches orienteering, hockey and athletics at school, and is a keen birdwatcher.
