Since the closure, I have been, amongst other things, a visiting professor/researcher in Ottawa, Galway, Paris, Granada, and have given numerous workshop and seminar talks (Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona, Cardiff, Luminy). I was a CNRS visitor in Lyon (France) working with Philippe Malbos and Yves Guiraud and in autumn last year (2011) visited the Université de Savoie, Chambery on a research visit. Recently I have been visiting Granada for four weeks followed by short visits to Logrono and Madrid.

I am an `emeritus member' of WIMCS and helped organise a recent WIMCS related workshop in Cardiff on Higher Gauge Theory, TQFTs and categorification. I am a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.
