Background
I completed my Bachelor of Science at Monash University (Clayton, Victoria, Australia) in 2015, where I completed majors in Astrophysics and Earth Sciences. I then moved to the Australian National University (ANU) in the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA), where I completed a Masters of Astronomy and Astrophysics (Advanced) in 2017 under the supervision of Mike Ireland and Christoph Federrath. The title of my thesis was "Tiny Grains Shining Bright in the Gaps of Herbig Ae Transition Discs".
I recently worked towards a PhD at the RSAA, with Dr Christoph Federrath, A/Prof Mike Ireland and A/Prof Penny King (Research School of Earth Sciences), where my topic focused on the physical and chemical environments that planets form in.
