I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Quantum Mathematics and Physics (QMAP) at UC Davis. My research is mainly in theoretical cosmology---the study of the universe on the largest scales---for example quantum tunnelling events in the early universe, and I am also interested in the consistency of modifications to general relativity.

In 2016 I received a DPhil in Theoretical Physics from Oxford University, under the supervision of Prof. Pedro Ferreira and Prof. John March-Russell; before that I was an undergraduate student also at Oxford, receiving an MPhys degree in 2012.
