Summary
I'm a Royal Society University Research Fellow interested in conducting precision measurements of fundamental quantities and new physics searches using table-top experiments.
Here are some of my past and present research interests:
- Measuring the size of the electron's electric dipole moment using ytterbium fluoride molecules
- Simulating the behaviour of complex multi-level molecular systems when they interact with many electromagnetic fields. This helps us understand how to apply techniques like optical pumping, laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping to molecular systems.
- Testing CPT symmetry by comparing the properties of protons and antiprotons
- Searching for dark matter using superconducting LC circuits
- Using Penning traps to detect dark matter
You can see a full list of my publications on Google Scholar here and find out more about my current research on the Ion Trapping group website .
