Staff Profile

I first joined Newcastle University as an undergraduate on the MMath program. After graduating, I completed my PhD in applied mathematics, with the thesis title 'Rotation, Vortex Dynamics and Disorder in Non-Equilibrium Bose Gases'.  I am currently a lecturer in Physics and Astrophysics. 

I am an active member of the School of Mathematic, Statistics and Physics Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee. 

My research interests are in the theoretical treatment of ultra-cold quantum gases, working on problem involving dynamics and turbulence of 2 and 3 dimensional Bose Einstein Condensates. 

My research interests include:

• Numerical modelling of Bose Einstein Condensates (BECs)
• Dynamics of quantum vortices
• Turbulence and disorder in BECs
• Two-component BECs
  

Please note that I have an open door policy.
