What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my research and teaching background in optical materials, spectroscopy, numerical modelling, and scientific communication, contributing to rigorous experimental or interdisciplinary physics work.

I've investigated optical materials at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, NYU Abu Dhabi, and ESPCI Paris PSL, including published work on a hybrid large-bandwidth optical waveguide made from organic molecular crystals.

I'm a physics lecturer and science communicator who combines optical characterisation, spectroscopy, structural analysis, and numerical modelling in Python, Fortran, Matlab, and Mathematica. My work spans copper nanoparticles, 2-D superconductivity, quantum optics, and research-led teaching in English and French.
