I am a Leverhulme-Peierls Fellow at New College and the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics. Before coming to Oxford, I completed my PhD and Master of Arts at Princeton University and earned my Bachelor of Science at the University of Tübingen.
Research Interests:
My research focuses on theoretical plasma physics relevant to nuclear fusion. I am especially interested in the turbulence that arises at the extreme temperatures required for fusion reactions. Understanding and ultimately controlling this turbulence is key to improving energy confinement in fusion reactors. To address these challenges, I study how flows and reactor geometry influence turbulent behaviour, using a mixture of analytical theory and numerical simulations.
