A warm welcome

Hi! I'm a PhD student at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Photonic Integration & Advanced Data Storage (yes thats a bit of mouthful!). It's a collaboration between the University of Glasgow and Queen's University Belfast.

I am based at the University of Glasgow with Prof. Richard Hogg as my primary supervisor, researching Quantum Dot Semiconductor Lasers in Harsh Environments.

I started my academic journey at the University of Exeter, where I graduated with a first class honors in Computer Science with Electronic Engineering. My undergraduate dissertation was on Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) and other data storage techniques.

Through successful funding applications I have been able to visit several conferences in the UK and further afield. In early 2018 I presented at the SPIE Phontonics West in San Francisco for the first time. In late 2018 I presented at the JSAP Autumn Meeting in Nagoya, Japan which is part of a placement organised with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT).
