I am an experimental scientist based at Artemis, part of the Central Laser Facility, near Oxford. I study how materials behave at extremely small scales—down to billionths of a metre—and over incredibly short times, as brief as a trillionth of a second. To explore this quantum behaviour, I use pulses of laser light, X-rays, and electron beams. By probing materials at these extreme scales, we can discover new properties and harness them to create future technologies for computing, electronics and energy generation.

I have an M.Sci and Ph.D in Physics from Imperial College London and I was an FP-RESOMUS postdoctoral fellow at EPFL. I am the principal investigator on the SNSF Spark grant: New insights into quantum materials by localized excitation in ultrafast electron microscopy.
