Postgraduate

I came to Oxford to pursue a master’s in Sustainable Urban Development, driven by my passion for shaping resilient, environmentally responsible cities. My current research explores sustainable urban planning models that balance economic growth with environmental stewardship- a focus that aligns closely with global policy challenges around urbanisation and resource use.

Before coming to Oxford, I completed my undergraduate studies at Loughborough University, where I read geography through an economic lens and led the Loughborough rugby 1XV team as captain. In addition to my studies, I have immersed myself in Oxford’s vibrant community, representing the university on the rugby field as part of the esteemed Blues squad.

The community at Trinity College has been an incredible support, and I am grateful for the friendships and experiences it has offered. The college’s inclusive and welcoming environment has made my time here truly memorable, enriching my academic journey and personal growth- whether that's the MCR games nights or academic showcase, Trinity has a place for everyone. 

I came to Oxford for the DPhil stage of the EPSRC's Center for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Future Propulsion & Power - a cross-university and industrially backed research effort to improve efficiency, performance and safety in aviation propulsion and industrial power generation. My research concerns characterising the threat posed by high-altitude icing to the next generation of ultra-efficient jet engines, in collaboration with Rolls-Royce. Before coming to Oxford, I studied Aeronautical Engineering at the Department of Aeronautics, Imperial College London. 

Postgrad life can often be lonely, but College and the MCR provide a wealth of conversations with genuinely interesting people and perform admirably to support research activities through grants and academic showcase evenings. The highlight of this year has been the Beer Cellar re-opening, and my very occasional matches for the combined Trinity-Exeter-Univ rugby team.
