Overview
I completed my PhD at Cardiff University in 2022 exploring the fabrication and characterisation of complex 3D magnetic nanostructures under the supervision of Dr Sam Ladak, continuing this work as a postdoctoral research associate with funding from the Leverhulme trust.
I received my B.Sc (Hons) in Physics at Cardiff university in 2017, M.Sc in medical physics from the Open University in 2012, and B.SC (Hons) in Music Technology at the University of Kent in 2010. I worked in IT sales and consultancy for Fortune 500 companies between 2010 and 2014.
