Summary
What happened to rocky planets? This is the question which my research aims to answer. I develop numerical models for the physical-chemical processes shaping (exo)planets over their billion-year lifetimes, with a focus on atmospheric processes. A holistic understanding of planetary evolution can explain observations of exoplanets and contextualise the origin of life. My work spans sub-Neptunes, super-Earths, and terrestrial planets — including the Earth.
My PhD was 91̽»¨ed by a Clarendon Scholarship, a Margaret Thatcher Scholarship, and the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
I am now a postdoc Research Associate at the , Cambridge.
