I research advanced imaging techniques for next-generation microelectronics and materials for catalysis. My projects include:
Probing defects in semiconductors using X-ray ptychography.
X-ray tomography for heterogeneous integration.
Tracking migration of catalyst particles via electron microscopy.
I also provide user support for the transmission X-ray microscope beamline (TXM, BL 6-2c) at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL).

I was stationed at the Molecular Foundry, LBNL, where I performed advanced microscopy to understand the structure of amorphous and quantum materials. My research projects included:
Deciphering the 3D atomic structure of amorphous materials using atomic electron tomography.
Imaging buried van der Waals heterointerfaces using electron ptychography.
Visualizing individual light atoms in three dimensions via ptychographic tomography.

In 2019, I served as Chair of the Joint Consultative Committee for Postgraduates (JCCG) at Oxford Department of Materials.
Entered TCD through the General Science program where I specialized in Physics.
Awarded a TCD Gold Medal for exceptional performance throughout degree studies.
Elected a Scholar of Science for exceptional performance in the TCD Scholarship Examinations.
