About

I am a researcher in the Norreys Lab working on the interaction of intense and short laser pulses with plasma (ionised matter). 

Specifically, I am looking at injection mechanisms in laser-driven wakefield acceleration of electrons. I use computational tools to run large-scale simulations and applied machine learning systems to control experiments. 

I am interested in collaborations with researchers of different fields as I believe interdisciplinarity is important. 

Research interests

Laser-plasma interactions
Wakefield acceleration
Applied reinforcement learning
