  • Lecturer (School of Physics & Astronomy)

Biography

I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2016. I have worked at the University of California Santa Barbara and the INFN Trieste prior to joining Glasgow in 2022.

Research

I am interested broadly in particle physics. In the past I have worked on composite Higgs models and warped extra dimensions, search design at colliders, operator bases in effective field theories, axion physics, scattering amplitudes, and effective field theory matching calculations.

My main current interest is the study of the mathematical structures behind our descriptions of high energy scattering processes (i.e. lagrangians and amplitudes) and how this can guide our searches for new fundamental physics at experiments such as the LHC.
