I am a PhD researcher at the University of Oslo specializing in advanced particle acceleration in plasma, with a focus on simulation, evaluation, and comparison of positron acceleration schemes for next-generation high-energy colliders. I have hands-on experience with beam diagnostics, experimental delivery systems, and cross-institution collaborative work, and I contribute to internal peer-review and publication processes. My background blends physics and engineering from Queen’s University, with a strong emphasis on computational modeling and data analysis. I am proficient in Python, MATLAB, and C++, and I enjoy translating complex scientific concepts into robust, data-driven results while collaborating across international teams.
