Pronouns: he / him
I am a Research Associate in the Imaging and Microscopy Team at the National Synchrotron Light Source II.
While a Research Associate in the X-ray Scattering group, I developed the Ultrafast Pair Distribution Function technique to leverage state of the art X-Ray Free Electron Laser facilities and track the evolution of material structure on picosecond timescales.
I gained my PhD from the Nanophotonics group at the University of Cambridge where I studied single molecule light-matter interactions. This leveraged large datasets of inelastic light scattering from plasmonic nanostructures measured using automated experimentation.
