I began my studies at the University of Nottingham with a joint degree in Physics and Philosophy because I wanted to study the complexities of the universe from two different perspectives, and understand the interplay between these two fascinating subjects. I then completed an MSc in Mathematics specialising in gravity, QFT and black holes and completing my dissertation with the group. I was drawn to analogue gravity because of the exciting prospect of being able to observe and test gravitational phenomena in a laboratory setting, and because I was intrigued by the power of the analogy between fluids and spacetime. For my PhD, I'm currently working on the new cryostat experiment to image the surfaces of thin film superfluid helium as analogues to scalar quantum fields in (2+1) dimensional spacetime. The goal of the experiment is to ultimately develop an Unruh-DeWitt detector to observe the Unruh effect, as well as to simulate gravitational phenomena such as preheating and inflation.
