I am a Postdoctoral Fellow working in the Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science with Prof. Dane McCamey. My work focuses on the possibility of using excitons as an information basis to perform logic operations. Previously, I worked with A. Prof. Jon Beves in the School of Chemistry using diffusion NMR to study supramolecular systems and non-equilibrium processes in solution as a route to directed molecular transport.

I work in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science with Prof. Dane McCamey. We use magnetic resonance to study the spin physics and energy transfer processes of molecular excitons. My work focuses on using long-lived high spin excitons to store, transmit, and perform logic operations on information.
