Personal Statement
My research interests relate to using the exquisite control and sensing capabilities afforded by contemporary quantum systems for fundamental physics. I'm especially interested in using atom interferometry based on ultranarrow optical clock transitions to search for ultralight dark matter and gravitational waves and to probe the intersection of general relativity and quantum mechanics. To this end, I'm active in the MAGIS and AION collaborations, aiding hardware and physics exploitation development. I also work on a multi-photon rubidium interferometer, housed at Liverpool, for inertial sensing; the development of UV continuous-wave lasers to enable the next generation of quantum sensors; sensors based on quantum circuit electrodynamics for dark matter searches; and the design of optical calibration systems for the BUTTON anti-neutrino detector for nuclear safeguards technology.

I'm committed to teaching and inspiring our students to become the future researchers and industry experts in the burgeoning field of quantum technology. At an undergraduate level, I lecture the Year 4 Advanced Quantum Physics module and serve as Year 4 Coordinator, as well as providing lectures for the yearly new cohort of PhD students in particle physics.

Research Overview
My research career has focussed on how quantum phenomena can provide genuine gain in fundamental and applied physics, with a track record of building quantum-enabled devices.
