Jerome Singleton: Scientist, scholar and Paralympian

Jerome Singleton has degrees in engineering, maths and physics from two leading American universities, has completed research stints with the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) and the US space agency Nasa, and is planning to do a PhD in biomechanics.
