Professional biography

BSc Chemistry and MSc Physics graduate from the University of Brighton and the University of Surrey, respectively. Currently a second year PhD student working in the Fraser Astrochemistry research group. 

Research interests

My research focusses on exploring the nanoscale physical properties and structure of molecular ices and their impact on astrophysical-scale effects in star- and planet-forming regions. This is done using both neutron scattering (NIMROD at the ISIS second target station) and molecular dynamics simulations (GROMACS).
