I completed my integrated masters in Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford in June 2020. I am now a DPhil Student on the NERC DTP in Environmental Research, as part of the Department of Earth Sciences.

Postgraduate

I completed my DPhil (PhD) in Earth Sciences as part of the NERC DTP in Environmental Research. I was funded by a NERC studentship alongside a prestigious Oxford-Radcliffe Scholarship. My research focusses on earthquake determinism, please see the research page for more information about my experience and interests. I completed my DPhil in June 2025.
