I am a Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church at the University of Oxford. I work in Atmospheric, Ocean, and Planetary Physics in the Department of Physics.

I study the atmospheres of exoplanets, using observations and models to understand their atmospheric circulation. I am particularly interested in the global atmospheric dynamics of tidally locked planets, which always present the same side to their host star. I have published on topics such as the observable features of lava planets, the formation of atmospheric jets on tidally locked planets, and eclipse mapping of the two-dimensional structure of exoplanets.
