I am a second year PhD student working in Geometric Group Theory, specifically group actions on nonpositively curved spaces. My supervisor is Dr Robert Kropholler.Link opens in a new window

I am also an organiser for DAGGERLink opens in a new window (Dynamics And Group Geometry Early Researchers Seminar). This seminar is aimed at PhD students, new postdocs, and keen Master's students. If you are interested in giving a talk, please get in touch!

Background

I completed my Integrated Masters (MMath) at Durham University, graduating in Summer 2022. My Master's project was titled "The Geometry and Topology of Tiling Spaces". I was supervised by Dr Gabriel Fuhrmann.Link opens in a new window

From Autumn 2022 to Autumn 2024, I worked as an Operational Researcher at the UK Civil Service. I worked on Housing statistics and analysis, as well as Net Zero policy analysis.
