Biological information processing through synchronisation of cilia
How biological information can be processed and transported due to hydrodynamic synchronisation of cilia, and similar oscillators.

Using physics to understand collective behaviour in living systems.
I am a physics student with interests in statistical physics, biological physics, and quantum materials. Through research and computational projects, I have explored how collective behaviour can emerge from relatively simple microscopic rules.

Research interests
Understanding collective behaviour
I use analytical, computational, and experimental ideas to study how simple interactions produce rich behaviour across physical systems.
DNA topology and its effects on gene transcription
Chromatin organisation, cellular memory, and the physical mechanisms through which living systems store information.
Quantum magnetism and further effects in crystalline materials
Frustrated magnetism, neutron scattering, and the collective excitations that reveal how quantum materials organise.
Beyond the research
This website brings together my research, publications, computational projects, and wider academic interests. I have designed it to be clear and accessible, and I welcome suggestions that could make it more inclusive.
