Learning physics so far for me has taken place at the University of Adelaide, where I encountered particle physics research in theory and experiment which aims to discover how the constituents of matter piece together. Since childhood I have enjoyed libraries, where I found interest in many genres, including the physical sciences. Physics research brings me the challenges and slow joys of understanding, this time learning about what is to my mind the most rewarding area of knowledge: interactions on the smallest scales. I hope to learn more about the complexity in fundamental matter by creating new ways to probe its interactions more precisely. Continuing from my Masters research, I will study some of the remaining questions in particle physics, seeking signatures of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Improving our sensitivity to new physics is a key step towards detecting dark matter, which will be a fascinating discovery for physicists and non-physicists alike. I am passionate about connecting science research with the wider community, and wish to collaborate towards increasing enthusiasm for nature.
