About
I studied at the University of Liverpool through undergraduate to PhD level, where my research focused on the surface science of quasicrystals. Following a postdoctoral position at the Tokyo University of Science, I returned to the UK to take up an EPSRC Open Research Fellowship.
My interest in aperiodic geometry grew directly out of my PhD work. The mathematical structure underlying quasicrystal structure - the tilings, symmetry, and how order and aperiodicity coexist - became my focal point, and now forms the core of my research programme. Whenever I can, I try to incorporate my research work into creative avenues, usually through digital media.
I am neurodivergent, and suspect this is not unrelated to my fixation on aperiodic patterns.
