I’m a Molecular Astrophysicist at the University of Leeds working with Dr. Catherine Walsh. My work explores molecular interactions in astrophysical environments. I‘m currently researching protoplanetary disc interstellar ices.

In my Quantum Chemistry PhD, I studied the binding of metal ions, small organics and biopolymers to the crystalline α-Al₂O₃ (0001) surface in soils, using density functional theory (DFT), ab-initio molecular dynamics (AI-MD) and nudged elastic band (NEB) simulations.

Prior, I investigated the hydroperoxide catalysed auto-oxidation reaction mechanism of jet fuels in my MChem.
