Obtained PhD in Plasma Science and Fusion Energy from the University of York in 2016. Held a number of postdoctoral positions at the Plasma Science Fusion Center at MIT, the Space Research Centre at the University of Leicester, and the University of Dundee. Briefly served as a Teaching Fellow in Computer Science at Coventry University. His research interests involve using large computer models to simulate the sun. These models explore convection processes to demonstrate the origin of the solar magnetic field and explain its variability. Additionally, his models of the corona predict phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which have important implications for predicting space weather on Earth and for the safety of space exploration missions.
