I undertook my PhD research at Aberystwyth University, using luminescence dating to reconstruct fluvial activity in Pakistan, which I used to infer how palaeoenvironmental change impacted the Bronze Age Indus civilisation. Since then, I have been a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford (2013–2014; 2020–present) and a Supernumerary Teaching Fellow at St John’s College, Oxford (2015–2019).

I am a Quaternary Scientist specialising in geochronology and luminescence dating. My research focuses on reconstructing palaeoenvironmental change, with particular attention to fluvial (river) systems, to better understand how past civilisations responded to changes in environment and climate. My main research project focuses on the northwest plains of India, formerly occupied by the Indus Civilisation, where I apply luminescence dating to inactive river systems to reconstruct river histories. My past and current research projects have focused on landscape systems in Kazakhstan, Egypt, Namibia, and Australia.

I teach physical geography across the 1st year (Preliminary Examination) and 2nd/3rd year (Final Honours School) BA Geography course. I also lecture on the option course The Quaternary Period: Natural and Human Systems.
