What I do
I am interested in how best to use and develop quantum sensors to discover new physical phenomena. Originally a theoretical particle physicist, I have spent the last three years researching how quantum measurement can expand our understanding of the Universe. This includes proposing (and sometimes building) new experimental schemes to measure dark matter, gravitational waves, or neutrinos, as well as understanding how quantum-enhanced methods can improve the sensitivity of these sensors to the smallest signals.

Academic career
I got a MSci (integrated Bachelor's and Master's) degree in Physics at Imperial College, in London, before going to the Particle Theory at Oxford University to work with Subir Sarkar and John Wheater, obtaining a PhD in 2022. I have since been a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Information Science group at Berkeley National Lab.
