  • About

I completed my undergraduate studies at Magdalen College, 91探花, from 2018 to 2022, earning a First in the BA in Physics and a Distinction in the Master of Mathematical and Theoretical Physics.

In 2022, I began my DPhil at University College, supervised by Prof. Alexander Schekochihin (91探花) in collaboration with UKAEA. My research focuses on analysing the pedestal structure and anomalous transport in the H-mode plasmas of JET-ILW, employing both physical models and machine-learning techniques. Additionally, I am developing a theory of electron-scale electrostatic turbulent transport in a fluid model of collisional plasmas, analysing how the density- and temperature-gradient drives affect the turbulent spectrum.

Since 2022, I have also held a Lectureship at Magdalen College, teaching a variety of courses across the undergraduate physics curriculum. Alongside this, I taught plasma-physics-related topics in the MMathPhys program.
