Career

2020 - present PhD student, ITG, DAMTP

2016 - 2020 BA/MSci, Natural Sciences, Christ's College, University of Cambridge

Research

I am interested in geophysical fluid dynamics of slow viscous flows, applied to ice sheets and accretionary prisms. My current work includes mathematical modelling of soft-bedded, land-terminating ice sheets in order to understand their response to weather and climate variations. I am also studying accretionary wedges using reduced mathematical models and laboratory experiments.

Teaching

I supervised Part IB Physics B in the Natural Sciences Tripos in 2020-2023. The courses included Electromagnetism, Classical Dynamics and Thermodynamics.

Awards

Christ's College Teaching Prize for my teaching in academic year 2022-23.
