“I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia”
- Ptolemy

About this website
Many years ago I made the foolish decision to pursue a PhD. After many years of working in industry to amass the funds for such an endeavor, and even more years obtaining a bachelors and then masters degree I have now found myself in a PhD program.
My project is a technique development driven one, whereby I am interested in the application of ptychography with electron tomography for imaging materials systems.
The aim of this website is to serve many purposes. One aim is to showcase my research and current contribution to the filed, the other aim is to provide education on a topic that few people will have encountered or have knowledge on. The last aim will be to provide the community with an opportunity to engage with this research to further expand on the current developments in this field.
