Rapt by all things science and history, I completed a joint BSc(Hons)/BA at the University of Sydney, Australia in 2014. Leaving the sunny shores of the southern hemisphere, I undertook a PhD in supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Nitschke at the University of Cambridge, finishing in 2018. I then moved to Montreal, where I held a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship in Prof. Hanadi Sleiman's group at McGill University. As of 2022, I started an ARC DECRA Fellowship at UNSW, where my group is developing out-of-equilibrium nanotechnologies for polymer synthesis and DNA assembly.
