I am a Croucher Fellow supported by the Croucher Foundation. Previously, I developed my PhD project at the University of Exeter and was awarded funding through the Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund from the Institute of Physics.

My main research focuses on understanding the impact of photochemical haze on the atmospheric dynamics and observability of a wide range of planets, including rocky planets, sub-Neptunes and hot-Jupiters, using the 3D General Circulation Model, the Unified Model developed by the UK Met Office. Currently I am studying how winds can result in asymmetrical distribution of materials within a planet's atmosphere, and how these produce observable differences between the two limbs of the planet in data from the James Webb Space Telescope.
