My work primarily focuses on understanding and optimisating 3D magnetic geometries for fusion devices. I have worked on adjoint optimisation techniques for micro-stability within fusion plasma and am presently focused on writing a full flux gyrokinetic code, including kinetic electrons.

I have been the tutor for the third-year undergraduate Fluid Dynamics for three consecutive years, and the Teaching Assistant (TA) and tutor for the Kinetic Theory masters course in the MMathPhys (Masters in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics). Additionally, I have been the TA for several undergraduate courses at Oxford, including the first-year Vector Calculus, the first-year Ordinary Differential Equations, and the second-year Statistical Mechanics and Thermal Physics courses. I planned and lectured the Dimensional Analysis course for the UNIQ Summer School outreach program, and I gave a lecture titled "Stellarators: twisty tokamaks that could be the future of fusion", on behalf of the fusion community in Oxford, as part of the 'Alumni-in-Theoretical Physics' event.
