Biography
I am a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Atomic and Laser Physics subdepartment at the University of Oxford. My research focuses on the dynamics of solid matter compressed to planetary-scale pressures over nanosecond timescales, studied using ultrafast x-ray diffraction and multimillion-atom simulations.
I joined St Hilda’s College in Michaelmas Term of 2024 as a Stipendiary Lecturer in Physics, teaching first- and second-year Mathematics, and second-year Thermal Physics. Prior to this, I taught the second-year Mathematics and Electromagnetism courses for two years at New College.
I am also a Senior Demonstrator in the first-year General Physics teaching laboratory, and Academic Coordinator for the Oxford Centre for High Energy Density Science (OxCHEDS), whose research can be read about here.
