Biography

My curiosity for physics began in a high school classroom in California with a simple question: how can I describe the natural world? The quest to answer this has led me first to Switzerland to complete a BSc in Physics at ETH Zurich, and then to Cambridge for an MPhil in Scientific Computing with the support of the DeepMind Scholarship. Along the way, I’ve leveraged the power of computational physics, which is a vital tool for understanding physical phenomena that are otherwise difficult or even impossible to study. During my PhD, I will focus on the design of nuclear fusion reactors. Using high power computing to generate state of the art numerical simulations will enable me to explore both the stability of the plasma within the reactor as well as to optimise the design of the reactor itself. Through this project I will join the global and interdisciplinary effort to accelerate the path towards harnessing the power of nuclear fusion and providing a clean and economic energy source.
