Profile
I am a PhD student based in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds.
I study the Antarctic Ice Sheet, with a focus on understanding the role of brittle fracture processes in its evolution. To do so, I use remote sensing data (particularly SAR) in combination with deep learning and numerical modelling.
I studied undergraduate physics at the University of Oxford before moving to the University of Nottingham, from which I graduated with an MSc in mathematics and theoretical physics.
