I joined the Robertson Group in October 2022. My research interests are in the structural and electronic properties of 2D layered materials, particularly the transition metal chalcogenides. My primary focus is in better understand the physical mechanisms behind the hysteretic resistance switching behaviours of Molybdenum Disulfide memristors, employing in-operando electron microscopy techniques to do so. I also work on the study of air-sensitive 2D materials, the mechanisms by which they degrade in air and how they may be protected from the ambient environment to prevent degradation.

I obtained my MPhys degree from the university of Warwick in 2022 during which I studied the quantisation of electrical conductance in transition metal nanowires and organic molecules.
