Brief history:
    I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol. Before my postdoc, I was a PhD student at the University of St. Andrews (2020-2024), working under the supervision of Dr. Sophie Huczynska ( here is Sophie's website ). Prior to my PhD, I completed an Integrated Masters in Mathematics at the University of South Wales between 2015-2019. In the interim, I worked as a transport consultant.
Research Interests:

    I am interested in combinatorial objects that have applications in information security. Currently, the majority of my research centres around finding new constructions of difference families, which are collection of combinatorial structures with applications in both cryptography and coding theory. Further to this, I am also working to develop new cyclotomic techniques in finite fields and I am also interested in combinatorial designs and finite geometry.
