I currently have five PhD students working with me: Dash Beqiri and Christopher Keegan who are in their final year, Ben Tragheim and Evie Ladbrook who are in their second year, and Matt Edwards who is in his first year of study at Warwick.
Dr Jere Tidey and Dr Struan Simpson started Postdocs in my group funded by the EPSRC in 2019 and 2022 respectively. Dr Craig Hiley joined the group in Autumn 2022 as part of a collaborative project with Professor Richard Walton funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
