I studied Chemistry at Lincoln College, University of Oxford, carrying out my Part II research year in the group of Harry Anderson FRS. I remained in Oxford for a DPhil with Paul Beer, followed by a short spell as a EPSRC Doctoral award PDRA in the same group. In 2015 I moved to the University of Cambridge to take up an Oppenheimer Early Career Research Fellowship, based in the group of Chris Hunter FRS. I returned to Oxford in 2018 where I am now a Royal Society University Research Fellow, Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Fellow and Tutor at Balliol College.
