Summary

In the first 3 years of my postdoc, I worked jointly with the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. I spent the majority of my research time working on evaluating the environmental impact of ISIS-II – the proposed upgrade to the ISIS project – from construction to decommission, via a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In this I assessed and identified the environmental impacts, including that of proposed technologies. Overall, I work to reduce the environmental impact of building, operating and decommissioning large accelerator facilities like ISIS-II.

I am a member of the Sustainable High Energy Physics Workshop, a member of the Laboratory Directors Group (LDG) Working Group on the Sustainability Assessment of Accelerators, and a member of the Oxford Physics Gender Equity Network Committee.

I have also supervised students and lecture in particle accelerator sustainability. Please find more information on teaching here.

I completed my Ph.D. in high energy particle physics at McGill University, Montreal in 2023. In this I worked remotely at the Belle II Collaboration, Japan in an 1000+ strong international collaboration.
