I'm computational biologist postdoc based in the Department of Biology, University of Oxford, UK. I am interested how mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids, integrons, and transposons, evolve and spread antimicrobial resistance genes. I spend most of my time developing novel genomic methods, but I also work on more fundamental questions surrounding bacterial evolution.
From 2019-2024, I was in the Modernising Medical Microbiology Unit, Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford. Here, I completed my DPhil in bacterial genomics, funded by the National PhD Training Programme in Antimicrobial Resistance Research. I stayed there afterwards for a year or so. Before my DPhil, I completed my BSc Mathematics at the University of York (2015-2018), and later my MSc Mathematical Sciences at the University of Oxford (2018-2019).
