Doctoral researcher in Palaeobiology, Swansea University
I am a doctoral researcher at Swansea University studying the functional diversity of sharks through time. This involves examining ecological changes of sharks across the last 66 million years using fossil teeth.
I receive sponsorship from the Fisheries Society of the British Isles and am a member of the Pimiento Research Group, which aims to assess extinction mechanisms of marine megafauna such as sharks through time. The ultimate goal of the team is to use this information to inform ongoing conservation efforts.
Additionally, I engage in outreach of shark palaeobiology through a variety of ways. My outreach, as well as previous work I have published, primarily focuses on the iconic megalodon sharks, its biology and ecology, and what the extinction of this apex predator could tell us about the effects of future shark losses.

PhD Student in Department for Music, University of Bristol
During my time at university, I have had many interests in musicology, but my main interest has always been in pop music and pop culture. Currently, I am a 2nd year PhD student at the University of Bristol, researching the disco revival during the pandemic and how nostalgia and escapism influenced music. My overall interest in pop music tends to focus on music created or celebrated by minorities, however, I also find the concept of 'what is popular' fascinating. In my personal life, I am an avid fan of pop music and keep up to date with the releases from many artists, and I find this relationship between fan and artist interesting and would like to research it. My previous research has looked at Madonna's use of disco in 2005, as well as Black musical canon creation in the music of Lizzo and Janelle Monáe. I am also a keen follower of music award shows and find the institutionalisation of musical achievement an area that needs constant research and attention.
Research interests specifically would include; pop music, revivals, award shows, cultural commentary in music, music from queer experiences, chart music.
