I am the project manager for several space flight instruments being developed in the Atmospheric Oceanic and Planetary Physics subdepartment at Oxford University. I'm currently managing the Modular Infrared Molecules and Ices Sensor (MIRMIS) instrument being developed for the upcoming (2029) ESA mission Comet Interceptor, the optical and ground support equipment and calibration facility for the Ariel space telescope ESA mission also to launch in 2029, and the Lunar Thermal Mapper Instrument on the Lunar Trailblazer NASA mission being launched in early 2024.
My prior research was dedicated to laser and optical instrumentation development for planetary exploration where I designed and built many computational optical systems, laser-based sensors for atmospheric and spectroscopic measurement applications.
My current research interests focus on:
High-cadence phase error correction of Fourier imaging through turbulent media
Predictive models of the consequences of economic policy using genetic and neural net simulations
Policy advocacy for student loan reform
