Education:
PhD Student, Condensed Matter Physics, University of Oxford, Oct 2026 -
I am an incoming PhD student at the Gruszka Lab. I will be researching the mechanics of chromatin replication and its impact on genetic and epigenetic inheritance.
MEng, Computer Science, University of Durham, Oct 2021 - June 2025
First class degree with honours. Master's Project: The Multi-weight s-Circuit Problem: an Application to Route Generation; supervised by Prof. Iain Stewart.
Experience and Employment:
Microscopy Image Analysis in the Gruszka Lab, Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, University of Oxford, Sep 2025 - Sep 2026 (Present)
I am a researcher in the Gruszka Lab working on the development of computational pipelines for the analysis of single-molecule TIRF microscopy. We focus on parental histone transfer during replication in vitro.
Ciliated Tissue Research with the Boselli Lab, Biophysical Sciences Institute, University of Durham, Jun 2024 - Aug 2024
Supported by the Royal Microscopical Society and BSI summer studentships, and supervised by Dr. Francesco Boselli. I created CiliaSim, an intuitive and extensible Voronoi tissue model for simulating aperiodic ciliated tissues.
Computer Science Demonstrator, Department of Computer Science, University of Durham, Oct 2023 - May 2025
I taught Data Science (probability, data cleaning and analytics, image processing and computer graphics) and Programming (git version control and web development).
