We’ve been working to publish a paper on the larger Flicker Spectroscopy project, of which my research last summer was a part. This paper has now been published in Science Advances so I can now post the outputs of my research!

My research was part of a larger project to determine the material properties of bimolecular condensates which you can think of as little membrane-less droplets in the cytoplasm of cells. Specifically, my research centred around testing how the imaging plane position affected the properties returned by our analysis pipeline. This was particularly important since the analysis assumed that each condensate was imaged at its equator.

You can find the outputs of my research here:

Student, Durham University

I’m a Postgraduate Research Student at Durham University, specialising in soft matter and biological physics.

For my Laidlaw Scholarship research project, I worked on a project to determine the mechanical properties of bimolecular condensates in the cytoplasm of cells. Specifically, I developed simulations to test our assumption in the main analysis pipeline that all condensates were imaged at their equator.

For my LiA, I will worked as an assistant instructor on the Elevating Agricultural Technology programme with the Timothy Smith Network in Boston, teaching 3D modelling and 3D printing

I LOVE talking about anything related to physics / technology and am also really passionate about education and F1, amongst other things!
