I am a Developmental Biologist with a background in understanding the intersection of biology and physics in generating diverse biological shapes.

I earned a BSc in Natural Sciences from UCL and my PhD at the University of Cambridge investigating how early vertebrate embryos elongate their body axis. My recent postdoctoral work uncovered differences in tissue mechanics that lead to the divergence of embryonic brain and spinal cord shape under fluid pressure.

I graduated with an MPhil in Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge in 2023, where I studied the mechanisms of SNX9 in cell motility of PI3K-driven breast cancer cells under the guidance of Dr. Jenny Gallop.

Currently, I am working as a research assistant supporting Dr. Susie McLaren in investigating the formation of coral-plankton symbiosis during coral morphogenesis, with the goal of aiding ecosystem recovery.
