I am a Strathclyde Chancellor’s Fellow in Optical Frequency Metrology, jointly appointed with the National Physical Laboratory. My research combines atomic physics, precision measurement and laser technologies, with a focus on developing optical free-space time and frequency transfer links and optical atomic clocks.
I completed my MPhys at the University of St Andrews in 2014, and my PhD in Physics at the University of Strathclyde in 2018. I was then awarded an EPSRC Doctoral Prize to fund a post-doc position at Strathclyde. In 2020 I joined the Precision Measurement Group at the University of Adelaide as a grant-funded researcher developing and field testing portable optical atomic clocks based on neutral ytterbium. In 2025 I was awarded a Strathclyde Chancellor’s Fellowship jointly funded by the National Physical Laboratory.
