I’m a scientist and engineer focused on developing new ways to understand and improve energy storage materials.
As a Faraday Institution Emerging Leader Fellow, I lead battery research across the UK’s National Facilities, including the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Diamond Light Source, and the Central Laser Facilities. My work sits at the intersection of hands-on experimental science and high-performance computational modeling.
Beyond the lab, I run an energy storage consultancy and lead the development of OpenImpala, an open-source simulation package.

About Me
My Research
My research is focused on method development for the physical characterisation of electrochemical devices. I specialise in combining operando experiments with advanced computational analysis to push the boundaries of what we can learn about batteries.
Experimental Techniques
Experimentally, I develop and apply techniques like coupled X-ray CT and diffraction, spectro-ptychography, and dark-field X-ray microscopy. I have successfully led 8 experiments as Principal Investigator and 14 as Co-Investigator at facilities in the UK and abroad.
Computational Methods
Computationally, I build high-throughput data analysis pipelines using deep learning architectures (e.g., U-Net) and develop novel approaches like super-resolution generative adversarial networks (SR-GANs).
Background & Education
I have a background in both industry and academia. Before my current fellowship, I was a Beamline Scientist at Diamond Light Source, where I led technique development for scattering tomography. I began my career as a Design Engineer at Xtrac Ltd., leading a design project for a top-tier motorsport gearbox.
