I am currently a PhD student at Oxford (Synthesis for Biology and Medicine EPSRC CDT), working on NMR spectroscopy of small molecules.

MChem University of Oxford; Part II (Master's project) under the supervision of Prof. Ed Anderson, on rhodium-catalysed cycloisomerisations. Some of this work was published: Org. Lett. 2019, 21 (8), 2918–2922.

I play the violin (DipABRSM), the flute, and the piano.

Moderator on Chemistry.SE. I usually keep ChemDraw files for questions/answers that I have written or edited. If you want any of these files, feel free to let me know (the best way is in chat).
