PhD Chemistry | AI-enabled research | Complex analysis | Data visualisation
I am a recent PhD graduate with experience in structural biology research, focused on integrating complex physical data with intuitive protein models, with a layer of generative AI.
I am based in Sydney, Australia. Alongside my core research skills, I have a keen interest in how to weave together diverse data to generate meaning and motivate informed decisions. I am looking for work opportunities to generalise my experience to new areas.

Biosynthetic Lanthanide-Luminescent Mini-Proteins Using Genetic Code Expansion
Noncanonical amino acids (ncAA) are promising as light-harvesting antennae for lanthanide luminescence in lanthanide-binding peptides and proteins. Here, we present empirical insights into antenna–lanthanide interactions, which reveal desi…
