Research Overview

My research will focus on security and policy challenges facing innovation and technological cooperation in outer space.

I graduated from Lancaster in 2022 with a LLM International Law and Diplomacy, which I studied via distance learning, whilst working for SKA Observatory, an astronomy international organisation.

I previously graduated from Durham University with a BSc (Hons) Physics and Astronomy. I have 20 years experience of working in policy and governance in science research and other public sector organisations.

I am also interested in science diplomacy and the law and governance of international organisations.
