School of Mathematics and Physics

I perform experiments using high-intensity and high-power lasers to explore fundamental plasma physics relevant to compact particle accelerators, laboratory astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion. I am particularly focused on how the new generation of high-repetition rate lasers can help us to transform our research and provide deeper insight into the behaviour of plasmas in extreme environments.
