About

I work in the John Adams Institute in Richard D'Arcy's group, developing experimental methods and diagnostics to enable current and future plasma accelerators to operate at the high average powers and repetition rates required for applications.

To achieve these goals, we research novel diagnostics for the plasmas and targets used in beam-driven and laser-driven wakefield accelerators in a purpose-built laboratory in the Denys Wilkinson Building, with close links to Simon Hooker's group.
