Hello! I am a first year PhD student at Heriot-Watt University under the supervision of Matthew Cordes.
I have recently joined the Algebra, Geometry and Topology group at Heriot-Watt. I am also a part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Algebra, Geometry and Quantum Fields (AGQ CDT), in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow.
Research
My interests are in geometric group theory. In particular, I am looking forward to learning more about negatively curved spaces and their boundaries as well as generalisations of hyperbolic spaces.
Before this, I completed my Integrated Masters in Mathematics at the University of Warwick, where my dissertation on the isoperimetric spectrum was supervised by Robert Kropholler.

Other
Coming soon: our first year CDT group project on actions of groups on trees, with Sean O'Brien, Alicja Pietrzak and Lorna Richardson.
During my time at the University of Warwick, I enjoyed a few other maths-related activities. I was the Academic Events coordinator for Warwick Maths Society in 2022. My favourite project was running a small mentoring group for female undergraduates, where we had meetings a few times a term for coffee mornings and maths help. I also wrote a couple of articles for Poincaré Magazine, which is a student-run maths and computer science magazine.
