Greater Oxford Area
I am an interdisciplinary scientist, an advocate for positive research culture and effective communication and a creative. I am on a mission to spread as much positivity for people as possible, for a sustainably better future. My personal interests revolve around connecting insights from human behavioural science and psychology with teaching, improving contextual communication and policy for a happier world. My journey at the moment involves combining my academic research and my love of encouraging engagement with science, learning and innovation. I teach study skills for all scientific disciplines across all HE courses at Lady Margaret Hall (Oxford); connect and collaborate across the Oxford entrepreneurial ecosystem; and pursue personal research into communication bias impacts in workplace culture, frameworks for productive interdisciplinary research and change management. In my academic world, I am trained in biomedical sciences and biophysics; my areas of expertise lie in microbiology, microscopy, fluorescent techniques and cellular systems. I am open to all opportunities, and I am particularly looking to engage more with policy infrastructure and development, with a view to improving cross-disciplinary communications and understanding.
