Research Interests: 

I am a student of Christoph Ortner and Yves Capdeboscq; my main interest lies in the analysis of solid materials, especially rigorously obtaining macroscale models from microscopic ones. My main focus of interest is in lattice defects, their scaling and properties. I am particularly interested in dislocations, and obtaining a good model to describe their core energy.

I am actively involved in Oxford Solid Mechanics, and maintain the website, which may be found here.
