- Novel algorithms from this work enables Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) simulations with a high degree of accuracy not previously possible. The accompanying open source software ‘gprMax’ has helped design GPR on NASA Mars Rover (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11214-020-00740-4) and has been adopted by GPR manufacturer ‘Sensors & Software’ (apa@sensoft.ca). Underpinned subsequent project (£250k) with Google Fiber (USA) and NVIDIA (UK) to develop automated detection of buried fibre optic utilities. Led to invited workshops (COST Action TU1208 - Croatia, 2016 & Greece, 2018) and hosting online conference (UK, 2020, http://www.gprmax.com/workshop2020.shtml). Paper ranked most downloaded (top 4) and most cited (top 9) for journal (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-physics-communications/most-downloaded-articles).
