Undergraduate engineering physics, University of Colorado, USA.

PhD, MIT, USA.

I spent three years as a senior research fellow in theoretical physics at CERN.

I work in high-energy particle physics, particularly focused on the properties of a new phase of matter, the quark-gluon plasma, that is produced in collisions of heavy nuclei.

My research is focused on the development of novel ways to infer the properties of the quark-gluon plasma from complex, indirect measurements that are made at high-energy particle colliders.

I am interested in how the quark-gluon plasma liquid is formed from the underlying interactions of quarks and gluons.

I was awarded a University Research Fellowship from the Royal Society (2024). This grant will enable me to start a research group in Oxford including DPhil students and postdoctoral researchers, and will support my research programme for the next eight years.
