I am a theoretical physicist and Senior Lecturer in Physics at Bristol University. My work concerns the theory of quantum matter. I tend to work on phenomena which involve interesting shapes and patterns (geometry and topology).
Until 2023 I was a Lecturer in Physics at Cardiff University. Before that I held the Astor Junior Research Fellowship at New College, Oxford, and a Lindemann Trust Fellowship of the English Speaking Union, which sent me to the University of California, Berkeley. I completed my PhD at the University of Bristol. I was on the Perimeter Institute's Perimeter Scholars International programme. I was an undergraduate at St. Catherine's College, Oxford.
Please see the Publications tab for papers, theses etc., the Research, and Talks tabs for more information on both my scientific and outreach work, and Students for projects I have supervised.
The Teaching tab contains some resources I have produced.
