I am a third year PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Adam ThomasLink opens in a new window and Prof. Derek HoltLink opens in a new window. My research interests lie in representation theory and group theory, specifically I am studying representations and subgroup structure of exceptional linear algebraic groups. I'm also interested in computational group theory.

Education: I completed an MSci in Mathematics at Imperial College London (2020) with a year abroad at MIT (2018). My fourth year project was supervised by Prof. Martin LiebeckLink opens in a new window and was entitled '1-Cohomology of the Finite Classical Groups'.
