About Me

I am in my final year of PhD study at the University of St Andrews, where I am researching Coronal Mass Ejections and flux transport under the supervision of Dr. Duncan Mackay.
After completing my undergraduate in Mathematics at the University, I had a choice between teacher training college and a PhD. I chose the latter.
I am currently an assistant warden at University Hall in St Andrews.

Interests Outside of Studying

* Rugby (I play front row)
* Films
