I grew up in Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Cambridge in Natural Sciences, specialising in biological and condensed matter physics. During my final year I worked in the lab of Dr. Ulrich Keyser on the diffusive motion of colloids in microfluidic channels. I then joined the Princeton community as a graduate student and am currently a joint student between Haw Yang and Quan Wang, working on the development and application of the Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic (ABEL) trap. In my spare time I like running and travel occasionally.
