Overview
I obtained a BSc in Mathematics and Physics from The Open University in 2017, an MSc in Physics from Cardiff University in 2018, and I am presently a PhD student at Cardiff University.
My research focuses on the resonant-state expansion in electrodynamics.
I am currently a tutor on the core modules of the MSc Physics course at Cardiff University.

Research interests
My research focuses on the development and application of resonant-state expansion (RSE) in electrodynamics. The RSE is a method to calculate the eigenmodes, or resonant-states, of open system. Eigenmodes are a powerful concept in physics as they provide a physically intuitive way to express observables of a system, such as its transmission or scattering cross-section.
