About

  • PhD student at Oxford working on NMR spectroscopy of small molecules. I graduated with an MChem (also from Oxford) in 2018.

  • I write quite a bit of Python and some TypeScript as part of my PhD and dabble in other languages, such as Haskell.

  • I play the violin (DipABRSM), the flute (ABRSM G8), and the piano.
