My Experience
MPhys Physics With Astrophysics, University of York
September 2021 – June 2025
First-class honours awarded overall. Undertook a variety of computational and practical projects in areas such as radio astrophysics, optics and molecular dynamics. Received University of York Academic Excellence Award every year of tenure. Alongside studies worked as a Team Leader for Physics Outreach and Senior Ambassador on Access and Outreach residentials.
British Antarctic Survey Placement
July – August 2024
Eight week placement investigating mooring data from the Orkney Passage. Identified anomalous bottom water freshening event and proved statistical correlation with zonal wind stress through analysis with MATLAB. Results presented in a poster at the UK Antarctic Science Conference 2024
COSSMoSS Fieldwork Experience
January 2025
Member of the science team during COSSMoSS fieldwork campaign aboard the RRS James Cook off the coast of Uruguay for four weeks studying submesoscale flows. Variety of roles including marine mammal observation and passive acoustic monitoring, as well as processing Autosub Long Range and CTD data. Gained relevant qualifications for operating offshore. Read more about the experience here.
MPhys Final Year Project
September 2024 – June 2025
Year-long project investigating gas heating properties in the electrothermal plasma thruster Pocket Rocket, for use in nanosatellites. Using advanced fluid-kinetic simulations to investigate the effect of tailored waveforms on gas heating efficiency. Awarded a first-class for dissertation and project overall, which you can read here.
PhD in Physical Oceanography, University of Exeter
March 2026
PhD research looking at data from the COSSMoSS project investigating submesoscale mixing in the SW Atlantic. Primarily focussing on data obtained by AutoSub Long Range aka ‘Boaty McBoatface’.

Dientes de Navarino Circuit
In November 2025, Emma and I completed the Dientes de Navarino walking circuit in Southern Chile over five days. It's a great route with the real 'end-of-the-world' feel, though it is certainly becoming more popular. I have a few notes here for anyone considering the...
Radio Imaging of SN1993J with APSYNTRU
This is a short report I completed as part of my final year exams in Astrophysics at the University of York. It discusses the production of an image of supernovae SN1993J via aperture synthesis radio astronomy. Here, I employ the APSYNTRU programme to produce my image...
