Hello! I am a first year PhD student at Heriot-Watt University under the supervision of Matthew Cordes.
I am a part of the Algebra, Geometry and Topology group at Heriot-Watt. I am also a student in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Algebra, Geometry and Quantum Fields (AGQ CDT), which is 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
I'm currently involved in a few exciting projects! At the moment, I'm helping organise the AGQ Conference as part of the student committee.
Here is our first year CDT group project on Actions of Groups on Trees, with Sean O'Brien, Alicja Pietrzak and Lorna Richardson.
I also participated in a performance of Mathopoly, a play exploring academic dystopia.
