About
I am a 4th year Astrophysics DPhil (PhD) student at the University of Oxford, working with Jayne Birkby. I am interested in the characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres, including their atmospheric chemistry, dynamics, and formation. I work to expand the boundaries of existing high resolution spectroscopy techniques, using the world's largest ground based telescopes, primarily the CRIRES+ spectrograph on the VLT. I have a particular interest in exploratory studies in preparation for the next generation of instrumentation for the extremely large telescope (ELT), which will see first light by the end of the decade. I am PI of the CRIMSON survey, using CRIRES+ in the M-band to study the silicon chemistry of 6 super-Jupiters.
Prior to my PhD I obtained my MPhys (Master's) degree in Physics and Astronomy from Durham University, UK. My full CV can be found here.
