I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Space Research Institute (IWF) in Graz, Austria, interested in all things exoplanet. My research uses computational models to investigate both the microphysics of cloud particles, and the global structure of clouds on gas giant exoplanets.

Supervisor: Prof Dr Christiane Helling

I received my PhD from the University of St Andrews in 2022, for the thesis `Mineral Snowflakes on Exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs’, under the supervision of Prof Dr Christiane Helling.

A copy of my thesis can be found at the St Andrews Research Repository, or can be directly downloaded from here.

I previously studied for an MSci in Physics at Imperial College London, and completed my master’s project on debris disks under the supervision of Dr David Clements.
