Welcome to my webpage. I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Soft Matter Theory group at the University of Pennsylvania, working with Prof Randall Kamien. My current research focuses on problems in liquid crystals, including topological defects and chiral smectics, and fluid dynamics as applied to biophysics, particularly self-diffusiophoresis and low Reynolds number motility.
Previously, I obtained my DPhil from the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof Julia Yeomans. My thesis was on the blue phases of liquid crystals and the hydrodynamic interactions of linked-sphere swimmers.
