I was born January 30th 1976 and was brought up in North London. I was educated at Highgate School. I did degree in physics with astrophysics at Manchester University. I then return to London and attained an Masters in telecommunications at University College London. In 2001 started working at Cryogenic Ltd., where I designed at tested superconducting magnets and other low-temperature instruments (not freezing bodies!). In the autumn of 2006 I started doing a PhD at Cranfield University. I investigated the RAP process, a plasma etching process for the fine figuring (smoothing) of large telescope optics (the large mirrors that make up the world's largest reflecting telescopes).
I do quite a lot of singing. I have performed in several operas including Cosi Fan Tutte, Don Giovanni, La Boheme, Carmen and The Tales of Hoffmann. I am also passionate about astronomy. You may look at some of my photographs. I have travelled to France, Italy, Spain, Japan, New Zealand, Laos and China. if you wish to read about any of these trips, please go to the holidays page. I enjoy listening to rock music, in particular to prog rock.
