Biography

My undergraduate degree was a masters in theoretical physics. I'm now applying what I've learned from studying physics to the field of nanotechnology.

Nanoswimmers

My research

Nanoswimmers are micrometre scale particles or smaller which are artificially nano-engineered such that they can be propelled through a fluid medium - using chemical reactions as an energy source. My research involves determining the extent to which the motions of these particles can be usefully controlled in order to enable novel applications in medicine and industry. Predominantly, I work from a theoretical and computational perspective.
