Profile

I graduated from Durham University in 2009 with an MSci in Natural Sciences (Mathematics and Geography). I then undertook a PhD at the same institution (2009-2013) on the subject of ‘High resolution modelling of flexible, submerged vegetation in rivers’. Following my PhD I worked as a post-doctoral research associate on a NERC-funded project for three years before joining Loughborough University in August 2016.
