I am a fourth year DPhil student in the Particle Theory Group at the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics and a member of Wadham College.
I am interested in the applications of Lattice Gauge Theory to the problems of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking. Specifically I am trying to determine the lower edge of the conformal window and searching for candidate theories of Walking Technicolor.
I am supervised by Dr Michael Teper and my work is funded by a four year studentship from STFC.
Much of my work has consisted of numerical simulations using the programs QDP++/ Chroma and HiRep. Local simulations were performed on the newhydra cluster (may require Oxford physics access) funded by Oxford and EPSRC.
