Neutrino Oscillations, Machine Learning

Interests

I am a Particle Physicist with a research interest in neutrino oscillations. I obtained my PhD in 2021 performing a measurement of 3 flavour oscillations at the NOvA Experiment, a global scientific collaboration, for which I now co-lead the working group applying machine learning techniques to the analysis of accelerator-based neutrino data. During my career I have spent time at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (USA) and CERN (Switzerland) developing DUNE, a next-generation neutrino experiment.

Outside of the two collaborations, I am passionate about the science outreach and public engagement activity at Queen Mary, co-founding the “MiniPix” branch of the "Physics Research in School Environments (PRiSE)" project. I continue to build my experience with different target audiences, most recently appearing as a speaker and panel member at New Scientist's "Instant Expert" event "Inside the Sub-atomic Universe".
