  • About

I am a PhD student in Prof Simon Hooker's Laser-Plasma Accelerator Group, through which I am involved in the Plasma-Modulated Plasma Accelerator (PMoPA) project. I joined the group in 2024 after completing my undergraduate master's in Physics, also at Oxford.

Outside of Oxford, I was fortunate to intern at the ELI Beamlines facility in Czechia during the summers of 2023 and 2024, where I worked on the theory and simulation of high-energy laser-matter interactions.
