Since October 2020, I have been a post-doctoral researcher in St Andrews, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). My present work is primarly focused on global modelling of the coronal magnetic field with Duncan Mackay.
Currently, I organize the Solar & Magnetospheric Theory Group's seminar series.
In 2016, I started my PhD in Applied Mathematics, studying mechanisms for solar coronal heating. My doctoral supervisors are Alan Hood and Clare Parnell. Throughout my PhD, I benefited from the support, financial and otherwise, of the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, for which I remain grateful. In 2020, I submitted and defended my thesis, and later graduated.
As an undergraduate, I was privileged to study Mathematics in St Andrews. While doing so, my interests in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and in solar physics began with my final-year Honours dissertation, which was supervised by Thomas Neukirch. Similarly, I obtained my first experience of academic research while undertaking a summer project with Mark Chaplain, on modelling interactions between hosts and parasitoids.
