Hi! I'm a graduate student in the PhD program at the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at UC Irvine. At the moment, I'm working on projects understanding the structure of minimally coupled symmetric hyperbolic theories, 'adapted' dynamics in Lagrangian classical field theory, and classical spinor fields, as well as a book project about the early development of the geometric object concept in the 1920s-50s. Outside of my research on classical field theories, I (co-)run a reading group on the physics, mathematics, and philosophy of QFT, which you can find details of here. ​

​

Prior to starting my PhD at Irvine, I did the BPhil in Philosophy and the MPhysPhil in Physics and Philosophy at Balliol College, Oxford. The topic of my BPhil thesis was the adaptation of matter to spacetime geometry. ​The topic of my MPhysPhil thesis was the relationship between Newton-Cartan theory and Maxwell gravitation. You can find a copy of my BPhil thesis here.

​

In my free time, I enjoy baking, playing chamber music, singing, swimming, roller-blading, painting, sketching, pen and ink work, embroidery, and crochet.
