About
I'm a NERC Independent Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool, specializing in fundamental rock magnetism and paleomagnetic recording. My research uses advanced micromagnetic modeling and numerical simulations to understand how magnetic particles in rocks and meteorites preserve ancient magnetic field information across geological timescales. With publications in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Nature Communications, my work has helped transform our understanding of magnetic recording stability, demonstrating that particles with single-vortex domain structures can reliably preserve paleomagnetic signals for billions of years, thus challenging decades of assumptions about how rocks record Earth's ancient magnetic fields.
Before joining Liverpool in 2022, I held postdoctoral positions at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Edinburgh, and worked as a software engineer at institutions including EMBL Hamburg. I bring computational expertise from an MSc in High Performance Computing and BSc in Computer Science to develop parallelized finite element models that bridge nanoscale magnetic behavior with planetary-scale geological questions. At Liverpool, I lead the VIRGIL project and teach programming and mathematics to Earth Science students, combining my passion for computational methods with training the next generation of geoscientists in essential quantitative skills.
