I am a Lecturer and STFC Advanced Fellow at Imperial College London in the Blackett Laboratory's Space and Atmospheric Physics Group.

In 2012 I was awarded the Zeldovich Medal by COSPAR (Scientific Commission D), for "outstanding research into the basic properties of collisionless plasmas in space which has led to a significant advancement of our understanding of magnetic reconnection and collisionless shocks." The Zeldovich Medals (a joint award of COSPAR and the Russian Academy of Sciences) are an international award conferred on young scientists for excellence and achievements and honour the distinguished astrophysicist Yakov B. Zeldovich.
