I am a post-doctoral researcher currently working on the Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA) project within the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing at the University of Adelaide (UofA). I undertook my PhD within the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group at UofA where I developed and deployed a low cost holographic microscope for the study of clouds and precipitation. This instrument was deployed in field campaigns in the Australian Snowy Mountains, the Southern Ocean, and at Davis Station, Antarctica.

My research focus is on the application of optical, radar, and atomic physics methods to the understanding of complex systems, with a particular interest in problems within the climate and earth sciences. I have been involved in a range of international collaborations and field campaigns centred around the understanding of the role of clouds and precipitation in the climate of Australia, Antarctica, and the Southern Ocean. More recently, I have extended my interests to the understanding of groundwater systems through the Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA) technique, with applications in climate science and water resource management.
