Profile

I joined Queen Mary University in 2023 as a lecturer in quantum technology. I completed a MChem degree at the University of Oxford in 2011, and a PhD in nanophysics at the University of Bristol in 2016 with the Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials.

Subsequently I was a postdoctoral researcher and then senior research fellow at the University of Oxford, in the Departments of Chemistry and Materials respectively, working on the synthesis and characterization of molecular electronic devices.  I am primarily interested in quantum transport and molecular electronics, i.e., studying electrical circuits in which a component, such as a transistor or switch, is a single molecule, with a view to applications in both classical and quantum computing, as well as sensing.

If you are interested in working with me on quantum electronics and physical chemistry drop me an email!
