I am a PhD student at UC Berkeley, where I study non-equilibrium quantum physics with a focus on critical spin systems and their role in quantum technologies. Originally from Ireland, I studied Mathematics and Physics at University College Cork, spent a year in Munich as an Erasmus Scholar, and earned a Master’s in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces at Imperial College London before moving to California.
Alongside my research, I enjoy teaching and mentoring students, as well as helping build inclusive communities in science. Outside of academia, I love gardening, yoga, and hiking and horse-riding in the Oakland Hills.
