Originally from South Wales, I completed an Environmental Conservation BSc from University of Wales Trinity St Davids and went on to complete an MSc at Kings the following year. After a brief spell as a HSE co-ordinator at a railway infrastructure firm I was awarded a position in the Natural Environment Research Council Doctorate Training Programme in September 2021. The completion of my PhD will take place at King's with Daniel Schillereff with my secondary supervisor located in Queen Mary's. 

The main focus of my research will be the identification and prediction of shoreline and beach morphology changes through the use of novel machine learning techniques. I want to explore if these techniques can produce better predictive power than that of more traditional approaches and if these techniques can be used by coastal managers from now and into the future. As a result I would like to explore what are the necessary quantities and types of data needed to successfully use Machine Learning for shoreline change prediction, potentially identifying a framework for coastal researchers and managers who want to utilise these techniques in a given region. 

I have a keen interest most coastal processes and coastal morphology, with a particular interest in exploring sediment budget analysis within coastal settings to understand future changes and events.
