I am a first year PhD student in Mete Atatüre’s group at the University of Cambridge. My research focuses on molecular quantum emitters functionalised to the surface of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and their applications in quantum sensing and related quantum technologies. I study and characterise solid-state single-photon emitters in hBN, with the goal of improving their optical stability and coherence for use in quantum biosensing. 

I recently graduated from Durham University with a First-Class integrated Master’s degree in Physics. My Master’s project was focused on using tapered single mode optical fibres for optical tweezing. I have enjoyed taking part in several research internships before joining my PhD group at Cambridge, including at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum in Munich and at the Dynamic Quantum Materials Laboratory (DQML) in EPFL.
