I am a quantum scientist. My research involves working at the intersection of mathematics, physics and computing.


In my current role, I am Lead R&D Scientist at Quantinuum within the Quantum Software Research Theory team based in Cambridge, UK. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Science Department at the University of Oxford. I completed my studies in mathematics at the University of Cambridge (B.A & Part III) and obtained my PhD in Physics from Imperial College London.
