Profile
I am a PhD researcher with a background in chemistry and computational modelling, specialising in the simulation of complex physical and chemical systems. My training spans molecular dynamics, density functional theory, and numerical methods for reactive and multiscale modelling. My doctoral research focuses on computational plasma science, with an emphasis on plasma–surface interactions and materials processing in nuclear-relevant contexts. My interests lie in applying advanced computational techniques to understand and predict the behaviour of coupled plasma, chemical, and surface phenomena.
