Welcome to my little corner of the web. I am a Leverhulme trust Early Career Fellow in the Theory and Computational Chemistry Group, focusing of using molecular simulation to study the interfacial and surface properties of liquids and complex fluids.

Short Bio
Following my first degree studying Theoretical Physics at University of St Andrews (1995-1999), I moved to the Department of Chemistry, University of Durham to perform my PhD research in the group of Dr Mark Wilson, using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study material properties of liquid crystals. Following the completion of PhD I moved to the University of Bielefeld in Germany to work with Prof. Dr Friederike Schmid in the Faculty of Physics, where my work focused on the study of liquid crystals at surfaces. In October 2004 I then moved to the Department of Physics, University of Warwick to work with Prof. Mike Allen. In October 207 I then moved to the Department of Chemistry to join Prof. Ale Troisi's group and in May 2010 I was awarded an Early Career Fellowship from the Leverhulme trust.
