Biophysicist, microscopist, and data scientist

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter

I am an interdisciplinary research scientist fascinated by microscopic life. My current focus is studying the swimming behaviour of single cells as part of Kirsty Wan's research group in Exeter. We are investigating how single cells can coordinate their movements without a nervous system. For example, Euplotes is a single-celled organisms that swims through water and walks along surfaces using 15 leg-like appendages, controlled via bioelectric signalling.


I hold an undergraduate degree in Chemistry, a Masters in Nanoscience and a PhD in Biophysics and Microbial Ecology, all from the University of Cambridge.
