I am currently a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, previously I completed my Masters Degree at the same institution. My central focus is development of off-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo methods and in my spare time I work on C++ hobby projects (I’m a bit of a template metaprogramming addict).
My current research group is the Macromolecular Materials Laboratory, previously I was with the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre.
Curriculum Vitae
It’s always just-a-little out of date.
Hiking
I am an avid ultralight hiker; this is the pursuit of ’thru-hiking’ long-distance trails carrying the minimal amount of equipment (usually less than 3.5kg) including custom equipment I make myself. I have completed many unsupported multiday expeditions including:
- West Highland Way - 154km
- South Downs Way - 161km
- Pennine Way - 431
- GR10 - 866km
- GR5 + Tour du Mont Blanc + GR52 - 842km
- Cape Wrath Trail [abandoned half way] - 320km
- Section of the South West Coast Path - 50km
- GR54 + GR549 - 267km
- GR20 - 180km
