BIO
I am a research software engineer within the central Research Computing Services group.
I completed my undergraduate degree in physics before spending two years in the defence industry, where I worked on counter-IED and GPS anti-jam technologies. I returned to academia to obtain a PhD in astrophysics at Imperial College London. My research focussed on understanding non-axisymmetric substructure in protoplanetary discs - in particular how the interaction between forming planets and the disc can lead to such substructure. This largely involved the use of numerical models as well as large-scale hydrodynamics and radiative transfer simulations of protoplanetary discs.
I joined Research Computing Services in November 2022, working between the Research Software Engineering and Research Computing Platforms teams.
