Overview
Education
I am an enthusiastic and extremely motivated
physicist with a mathematical background and
an analytical approach to problem solving. I
have an internationally leading research track
record and possess excellent managerial and
leadership skills. I am a natural communicator
with advanced oral presentation skills and the
ability to disseminate complex scientific issues
in interesting and simple ways. I have the ability
to learn new skills quickly and therefore possess
a wide range of academic and technical
expertise. I possess strong interpersonal skills
allowing me to work effectively in a team
environment.
Key Skills
I attended the University of Liverpool where I
obtained a first class honours degree in Physics
and Mathematics and a Ph.D. in
Experimental Nuclear Structure Physics.
