  • About

I am a third year PhD student working with Professors Julien Devriendt, Adrianne Slyz (Oxford), and Taysun Kimm (Yonsei). My research focusses on developing sub-grid models for the formation and evolution of star clusters in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations.

Before coming to Oxford, I completed my Bachelors and Masters degrees at the University of Cambridge. For my final year research project I investigated the impact of dwarf galaxy interactions on stellar streams under the supervision of Professors Vasily Belokurov, Andreea Font, and Dr Adam Dillamore.

Research interests
