I'm a graduate student in the Gregori group currently studying for a DPhil in plasma physics. Specifically, I'm looking at measuring transport properties of dense plasmas using X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS). I've also been involved in experiments at high powered laser and X-ray free electron facilities investigating laboratory astrophysics and dense plasmas. I have experience working at a diverse set of facilities: EuXFEL, LCLS, SACLA and GSI.

Research interests

Plasma physics
Transport in warm dense matter
X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy
Laboratory astrophysics and inertial fusion energy
