About

Fascinated by all things above and beyond, as well as the theory necessary to understand them.
I work on topics including hydrodynamics, plasma physics, atmospheric physics, protoplanetary discs, the solar system. Particular focus on the early evolution of atmospheres, i.e. accretion and escape.
