I am a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor in the mathematics department at UCLA.
I completed my PhD in 2015 at the University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Daniel Tataru. From 2015-2018 I was a Simons Junior Fellow at the Courant Institute, NYU.
Research
My research interests are in PDE and analysis. In particular I am interested in problems from nonlinear dispersive PDE and fluid dynamics.

About
I am originally from London, UK and have been in Los Angeles since July 2018. I was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Courant Institute, NYU and a member of the Simons Society of Fellows. I completed my PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, where my advisor was Daniel Tataru, and my undergraduate degree at Magdalen College, Oxford.
