I am the Group Leader of the Quantum Matter in High Magnetic Fields, I am a Senior Research Fellow at Somerville College, Oxford and a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
I am a Co-Director of the Superconductivity CDT and I represent the Oxford Superconductivity and I am a Co-Director of the Oxford Centre for Applied Superconductivity (CFAS) in Physics. Since 2011 I have been organizing the Oxford Symposium on Quantum Materials combined with an expert visitor programme both funded by the EPSRC as well as a Cafe Scientifique of Quantum Materials dedicated to open discussions on quantum materials. I recently co-organized Science and Techology in High Magnetic Fields in Oxford to bring together the scientific community and industry interested in the development and access to high-magnetic fields.
Previously, I held independent research positions funded by the EPSRC through a Career Accelaration Fellowship at the University of Oxford and a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship at the University of Bristol and University of Oxford. I was Departmental Lecturer and Post-Doctoral Research Assistant at the University of Oxford, after my PhD in Oxford at the Queen's College. I was a member of the Superconductivity Group Committee of the Institute of Physics, and the SelCom, EuroMagnet II Selection Committee for access to the high magnetic fields facilities in Europe.
I was awarded prestigious prizes such as the Fellowship of the American Physical Society 2023 for "pioneering studies of the electronic structure and the nematic and superconducting orders of iron-based superconductors, using quantum oscillations, photoemission, and other techniques", Brian Pippard Prize 2019 on Superconductivity from the UK Institute of Physics for significant contribution to superconductivity and the EuroMagnet Prize 2011 for research in high magnetic fields to understand iron-based superconductors.
For many years my part-time research work was combined with raising my two children together with setting up new laboratories to advance our research. I encourage young people, in particular young women, to consider Physics as a fulfilling career.
