About Me

Image

I'm an electronic engineer and glaciologist with experience in developing instrumentation and taking part in fieldwork to study processes in the cryosphere. I have a particular interest in radioglaciology - the application of radio instrumentation to study properties of glaciers - and have worked on the development of radar systems to image the base of ice shelves and processes in the firn.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate at Cardiff University in the CHIL group. The group develops and deploys the Cryoegg and Cryowurst instruments to study glacial hydrology and ice dynamics processes.

In my spare time, I enjoy mountaineering, cycling and painting which makes up the bulk of this website. Hopefully there's something on here to take your interest and do get in touch should you have any questions.
