He is currently the 'Course Director of the MSc in Forensic Investigation' and the Module Leader for two core modules of the Forensic Modular Masters Programme: 'Court Room Skills for Forensic Scientists' and 'Reasoning in Forensic Science'. Peter's most recent work was on the influence of varying strain rate on the properties of bone. In this he has published in 2020 in BONE a paradigm shifting paper showing that the fragility of aging bone in particular is a result of a ductile-to-brittle-transition (DBT) which shifts to lower strain rates for older individuals. The cause of this effect is biophysical in its nature and shows that the so called 'bone properties' can only be understood in the context of its history and its environment both mechanical and ambient. The content and context of this new way of looking at bone fracture as a 'dynamic' material which experiences failure in a 'stochastic' manner were presented in a special issue of the journal BONE https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/bone/special-issue/10VZ6CMZR77 (link) and in a WEBINAR (19 Nov 2020) given in memory of the late JD Currey for JMBBM (J Mechanical Properties of Biomedical Materials) and can be watched in YouTube: https://youtu.be/BuYBImaAc28 (link)
